    Model X hitch accessory overload ?

    I have a question : I have the accessory hitch installed as I was planning to carry at least 3 bikes with the Tesla/Yakima rear bike carrier. The problem is I didn't know the hitch would only support 120 lbs and the bike rack itself weighs 40-44lbs. That makes only 76-80 lbs left for the bikes...

    Tongue Weight Limit on Accessory/Towing Hitch

    Does anyone have any insight on the tongue weight limit on the hitch? I ordered the accessory hitch, not the towing package. The Tesla owners manual says the limit is 120lbs, but the hitch itself, the 2 inch Bosal, says 500 lbs with <22inch wheels, and 350 lbs with 22 inch wheels. This 350...

    Autopilot Autosteer with bike or cargo rack

    Does anyone with a hitch mounted bike or cargo rack know what is the impact on Autosteer? I would really like to have Autosteer for long distance travel vacations when the cargo and/or bike rack would be most needed. I did notice that "Tow mode" will allow Autopilot but disable Autosteer, so...

    Did those who ordered the Accessory Hitch, get that or actually a REAL Towing Package?

    I'm trying to decide (within the next 2 days before my MX configuration gets locked down) whether to change my order to include the Towing Package or leave it as the Accessory Hitch. I have NO need to tow, but I need more than 120lbs of vertical weight capacity that the new 2" Accessory Hitch...

    Model X Cargo Carrier

    Is anyone considering this rear-mounted cargo box from Thule? I don't know how it'll fit in back-in Supercharger locations, but definitely seems to fit the bill with the falcon-wing door limitations as well as the aerodynamic benefits compared to roof-mount. I was trying to figure out if I...

    Curved Model X Bike/Ski Rack

    I apologize in advance if this question has already been answered. During the Model X launch event, Elon (with the help of a young boy) demonstrated the ease of installing a hitch mounted bike/ski rack as shown in this video clip (60 seconds): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqgBP57D6Io I...

    EcoHitch (or other?) installer North of Boston?

    Just got my 85D and could really use a trailer hitch for a bike rack (no towing). EcoHitch seems to be the way to go. They list two local installers, but neither have ever installed on a Tesla (and they've only installed a few). Has anyone had a hitch installed North of Boston? Or a potential...

    Roadster Rear Hitch

    Hi Team Tesla, I was wondering if anyone has put a bike rack or wheelchair rack on the back of their Tesla. If so, can you point me in the right direction? I’m looking into getting one made by an aftermarket company but if anyone out there has already done this and is happy with the outcome...
