Took it for a spin... Seemed solid.

Excellent! Glad to hear it will work! I've seen the tray style for motos but not that kind. Looks pretty slick!
FYI, if any service center still has issues with adding Towing, please direct them to the Tesla Shop webpage. Tesla — Tow Package
This is for the cars ordered without hitch accessory option. Now they just need to add an option for us "hitchers" to get the Tow soft pushed out OTA to get to the full Tow Package parity. I might be inclined to pay a couple of hundred bucks for that.
@Stasla Did you read the part toward the bottom? "Customers with vehicles equipped with a trailer hitch & without Tow Mode enabled can upgrade to the full tow package by contacting their Service Center for information and availability."

@DougH Does it match Tesla's SOP perfectly? Changes after the fact cost $500 extra. (Other than on EAP/FSD where it now costs $1,000 extra.)
I wonder how many hours of labor it takes to pull the bumper cover off, install everything, and then put it all back together? It seems fairly reasonable to me.

The hitch I had installed on my 2014 Range Rover Sport at delivery was $1800. And that was supposedly a deal. Land Rover was the only option as that was a new body style so they could charge whatever they wanted.

According to my SC, it software update has to be done at the service center. They need to change the configuration of your car. Mine is currently getting this done along with a few punch list items from delivery.
Something else that I picked up on that I cannot confirm but I think all cars are now built with the 72amp charger and it's just a matter of the car being configured for it to get it to work. My tech said that the trailer tow feature just needed to be turned on and mentioned a few other items like that... One of them being the 72amp charger.

This would be very interesting if confirmed because forever, everyone thought it was so from the website description (software enabled), but then at some point it was confirmed (at that point in time) it was a hardware swap. If they changed to pure software, interesting.
Not sure how we would verify this in general, unless someone had this done without an SC visit!
It also depends on what the actual hardware costs. We've seen that they are dumping the 60 because the cost of the 75 pack was such (and that 'relatively no one upgraded') that making it easy to upgrade in software was excessive. (Other factors like the free battery headroom in the 60 notwithstanding...)
For an accessory like EAP/FSD, it's ALL software. Cool. No marginal cost at all.
For chargers, what's the marginal cost of 72 vs.48 Amp charger? How many people wouldn't upgrade vs. time/cost of SC visit, having two models of chargers, etc. If it's really so....
I'm talking about hardware that's already in the cars - things that can be enabled via software: ambient cabin lighting, autopresent doors, adaptive headlights (possibly, if the actual headlights are the same, as I suspect) etc. for non-PUP cars, tow package for "hitchers", and the list goes onIt also depends on what the actual hardware costs.

Discussed with service and they said they would turn it on when I was in for resolution of a few delivery punch list items. YMMV
I think it does help to have a good friendly relationship with your SA. I happen to get along with them very well (and I am not being fake) and I think they appreciate that I am very understanding.
