    Model Y purchased 12/31/23 Trailer / Tow Hitch wiring connector

    I believe you are correct. The new hitch receiver Rev G has a new controller unit that enables the trailer lights. I installed the Rev G hitch receiver myself and my trailer lights would not operate. I found the only way to enable the trailer lights with this module installed is to update the...

    Model Y HW4 with OEM Tow Hitch Installed

    I completed my service appointment today with Tesla to enable Trailer Mode. This confirmed my worst scenario.

    Model Y HW4 with OEM Tow Hitch Installed

    Thanks for the offer. I decided to submit a service request. I did get a confirmation that Tesla will enable the trailer mode and configure the trailer lights. The service advisor stated that there is no information about changing any hardware and quoted me a 1/2 hours worth of labor to...

    Model Y HW4 with OEM Tow Hitch Installed

    This is meant for US owners since there are different versions of the Left Hand Low Voltage Body Controller for non-US models.

    Model Y HW4 with OEM Tow Hitch Installed

    Calling out to all Model Y owners with HW4 that have the OEM hitch installed and the trailer lights that properly operate when connecting an accessory to the trailer electrical connector. There doesn't seem to be a comprehensive thread existing that clearly identifies the Left Hand Low Voltage...
