2021+ Lower Bumper Cover (Hitch Opening)

[cmarshack]

Has anyone found the part number for the removable lower bumper cover that has the opening for the hitch? I know they are very inexpensive on the Model X (Like $11) and I want to buy an extra one to cut a hole in it when the hitch is installed.

As it is today, the opening is pretty large and looks kind of ugly when the hitch is installed, like something is missing.

Just looking for a part number and price if anyone has it.

I did not take any good photos, buy that entire lower section is wide open when the hitch is on there.

Cutting a hole in the plastic piece is probably a case of extreme overkill. You’ll see what I mean when you install the hitch.

Hmmm, I clearly do not see what you mean because I started this thread.

Can you please explain?

I leave my hitch in all summer and don’t think it’s extreme overkill at all and looks so much better.

Nice, that's exactly what I was planning to do!

FYI, I used a band saw to cut it.

What hitch did you install on your car? I'm thinking of installing one myself.

That is the Tesla factory hitch for the MX/MS

Yes, that is the OEM Tesla Hitch for the Model X.

That’s nice. I have a factory Model X hitch on my S, and have a 1-UP bike rack fitted most of the time. I ordered a spare cover like you (which came in bare plastic, unpainted and without the two plastic turnbuckles). When you get a moment you mind taking some measurements of the hole you cut so I and others can make the cut required? Thanks!
