It would be nice if they put a preset like this on every AWD model, a setting that's makes the car FWD favored.

Option 2 doesn't sound bad. You could be more mobile with this solution too. For example take the power station to the tent or whatever. You would just have to remember to plug it in to charge while you're driving.

It's my understanding that the penthouse turns on periodically to keep it charged up. I think if it's drained too much the car can throw errors? I'm not completely sure. You would run into the issue with any connection to get a 12v constant though since it would have to come from that battery.

I saw a few posts mentioning the Exped Megamat duo. I have one, and it doesn't fit if you blow it up to where it's comfortable. It didn't fit very well in the model s either. The Exped single does fit and it's very comfortable, but don't expect to sleep 2 people on it as it doesn't cover the...

When I did my trailer lights I wired it directly to the battery. It's not hard to run a line from the front into the trunk of the car.

Put a hitch on it, then you can use a trailer or put your bikes on a bike rack.

The second battery made things weird. For one thing I could only get all the lights working correctly if it shared the same ground as the vehicle. The lights did work correctly after that but it seemed to mess with my cars infotainment slightly (more delays, restarts). The extra battery I put in...

I hear you. I was nervous about running it too. I wired it to the penthouse under the back seat, then with a separate battery in the trunk, but feeding it through that grommet hole was so much easier. Wish I would have known you didn’t need to remove the bumper cover and taillight earlier.

I bought a 2 inch drop for the 1 1/4in hitch. You can reverse the mount on it so that it's a 2 inch rise...

I just had one installed on an early 2018 car. I had the shop do it, but it seems great. Pulling a 15' boat and trailer with it.

I guess I'll just bite the bullet and run a line under the car sometime. We rigged up a little battery in the trunk for now. It needs to share a common ground with the car to work for some reason. Otherwise I was getting all kinds of strange behavior. These trailer lights harnesses seem very...

I've installed a hitch on my car for towing a boat. I bought one of those expensive Tekonsha wiring harnesses and attached it to the 12v supply in the penthouse (it wants a constant 12v supply). Worked fine. Next day I come out and it's not working. So I go to the store and grab another one. I...

Isn't the duo too wide? I even had problems with it fitting in my model s. For the model 3 I've been using the megamat single and like you said removing the bench seat cushion. I can just set up the cushion on floor so it works out well. (Basically the megamats are just as comfortable as a bed...

It was priced at $120 on the website, but they said they won't do the wiring.

I want to pull my boat with my model 3. U haul has a hitch install listed on their site. 2,000 lb limit etc. It's a fairly good price at like $300 something installed. It's just down the street. I used to have an eco hitch on my model S. But I'm wondering if the u-haul option is just as good?
