Adding a tow package to a 2022 Model Y

Interested in this as well. Can this be done by mobile service? How's the fit afterwards? Any squeeks and rattles, loose panels?
I did. No, cannot be done by mobile service. You need to order the tow hitch and Tesla will ship it directly to the Tesla Service Center. You will need to call and set up an appointment.
The factory tow hitch is a royal pain. The hitch receiver is so close to the trailer pin harness that its insanely difficult to attach three connections, let alone put a pin through to secure the hitch. There isn't enough space to do much of anything under there, so annoyed with Tesla designers on this one.
@Qbenjamin I have a tow package enroute to my local service center for installation. On another thread, someone posted this link to a right angle lock. Have you seen this? Looks like it would be helpful...

That is always a concern with me... there were a few people on the forums that added OEM passenger lumbar to their cars and Tesla disabled it with an update. I guess its not a problem if you're hauling bikes, but if I were towing a trailer, I'd want to be assured Tesla would update the software.
$1,300. That includes labor cost. I like it but I only use it for bikes. No issues here.
I bought one of those locks, but haven't had my hitch installed yet. I'm not sure if the lock has to go on the left or whether it can go on the right as well. Is there more space on the right side? The website hitch photo has a left-looking perspective, so I'm not sure...
i haven't tested it yet but the harness is there. i was able to plug it in. i bet once i plug in a trailer it will show im in tow mode.
anyone here who had tesla install a tow hitch? if so, do you show the additional tow functions even w/o attaching trailer?
I received my Curt hitch lock and installed it yesterday...Works great. Now if only they'd re-design the bumper to allow normal clearance to secure all of the trailer back-up hooks.
I included the factory tow hitch with our order. I installed aftermarket tow hitches on previous vehicles, including removing bumper, but I was too paranoid to do it on the Y.
You can see the Trailer Mode option on the screen. I took the photo a moment ago with the Y parked in the garage and nothing attached to the hitch or power harness. Maybe Tesla just needs to flip a toggle for your VIN for Trailer Mode to appear.
