Hey guys.
I've decided to hold off on the Y and wait for the Cybertruck. In that case I need to fix the only issue I have with my Model 3, not being able to transports my families three bikes. I have a Thule hitch rack that I used to use with my Tahoe.
I have a late 2018 car with no wiring or hole underneath.
Which hitch setup should I get? I'm not a mechanic but I'm reasonably confident in my abilities. Last month I disassembled my passenger door to install a new mirror after my better half had it abruptly meet the garage. I don't plan on ever towing anything, just using the rack with two adult bikes and one kids bike.
1. So which one?
2. How much do I have to be concerned about tongue weight? I'd guess I'm looking at 200-250lbs of downward force all in.
3. I heard I can buy the newer plastic underside with the hitch hole from the parts department. Does that really bolt right in on a 2018 without issue? Anyone have the part number? Anything else I need for that retrofit?
4. How does the AP system handle something right up behind it while driving? Any issues there?
5. Anything else I need to know?
Much appreciated!
Best,
Gene
