We offer two different hitch fits from Stealth Hitch for a 2021 Tesla Model 3.

If you'll be using the hitch as an attachment point for a hitch mounted accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier only, you'd want to use the # 391TES317 which features a removable receiver (not for towing use). When it's not needed, the receiver can be disconnected, making the hitch completely invisible.

If you'll also need to tow with the hitch, you'd use part #391TES317T which includes the removable receiver, the trailer wiring harness and the ball mount which is suitable for towing. Like the hitch above, the hitch won't be visible once the receiver attachment or the ball mount is detached.

I would not think in Spain or France that they would use foot pounds since it isn't a metric measurement. But regardless I checked with Curt and the 450 foot pounds is what you would need.

We don't have a combo of the Curt Hitch Ball #C40008 and Curt Ball Mount #C45340. The ball mount is extremely heavy-duty, rated up to 17,000 pounds. I think it's safe to assume you don't have a torque wrench rated up to 450 foot pounds…
