Update - March 1, 2021 Curt Rep came through. Engineers updated the hitch to solve the fit problem. Today I went to Burnaby Hitch and the new hitch was installed. Curt rep was onsite to watch the install. Installed and fits... very happy with the resolution. If anyone is considering the...

Curt Hitch Model 13449 - update We uninstalled the hitch and returned for a full refund from Uhaul. Lots of work nothing to show for it. Last conversation with local Curt rep was on August 13th - they have nothing new for us. Seems it's not a high priority for engineers as they don't sell...

If you search "Curt" you will find my post and story for 2020 Tesla 3 and the Curt Model 13449 Hitch. So much time wasted. We were connected with a Curt Rep in Vancouver Area and he seems to genuinely want to find a solution and has head office engineers working on re-designing. We could not...

Update - Curt rep called today and said that engineers would be "making" a proper hitch for 2020 and keeping us in the loop. They have reviewed our notes and photos and understand current model does not fit a 2020 Tesla Model 3. So today... we embark on removing the bumper, and uninstalling...

Thanks so much for the detailed information! We have reached out to the local Curt "rep". We have sent photos and described our issues and he says he will look into. We will not modify ... in case they decide to reverse engineer... but if it drags out at least we can use your solution to get...

Thanks for the link - we are not alone....geez.

oops meant to say Hitch purchase (not bumper purchase)! The bumper did not have a good close fit when reinstalled after taking off to install the hitch. The hitch is rubbing and does not seem to fit the style of bumper.

We purchased a Curt Hitch (for bike rake) from UHaul. Model 13449 We installed last weekend and could not get a good tight fit when reconnecting the bumper sides after many hours. On Tuesday we took to a certified Tesla Auto Shop (3rd party) as we assumed we had done something wrong. They...

Thanks for a great article. Love the step by step. Placed my Amazon order.

After a flurry of activity on Model 3 VIN's and Confirmed Delivery dates early this week in the Master Spreadsheet.... things have come to a crawl in the last few days. I'm hoping for word soon. Ordered Feb 23. I see orders both before and after getting updates and nothing for me. Going to...

Order date: 02/23/2020 Model 3: SR+ White ext/black int, aeros, no fsd Pickup location: Vancouver, BC - Powell Got a text message today: Your Model 3 is now expected to be ready for delivery 2-3 weeks from today. For those that have been through this process or those will similar order...

Question - What was your order date? Trying to see what the average turn around time for Vancouver deliveries is!

Hi - We ordered late on Feb 23 same car. Got one text next day (Feb 24) saying 4-6 weeks. Of note - I was back at the 4th Ave office yesterday (to pick up a wall connector) and they said - goal was by end of March for BC customers due to $3,000 incentive program. We will see.

Hi Rob, I'm in MR and scheduled for this upcoming week with Pacific Star Electric out of MR. Hard to compare costs as we already had line in garage, getting a sub panel and some other electric upgrades done. We did buy the Tesla Wall Connector. Note: pretty sure we ordered the same car...
