Title says it all.

I used my driveway. If you are looking for someone that installs a lot, I had the folks at Allied Trailer Supply install the base plate on my Honda. They did a bang-up job and worked with Blue Ox to do a first time install on my car. Went in the official documentation for that model year.

Did mine in an afternoon. The only thing I forgot to do was keep track of rear steel bumper orientation (oval hole to the right) . The installer in my area was nearly 45 minutes away and I wanted it done right so I just did it. Wasn’t too bad.

Got it. May enroll my dad to do the work then.

Always good to do as a group project. Had a friend come and watch me do the work. He helped, but mostly helped keeping me from making mistakes.

Just don’t forget the mystery corner nut accessed by pulling interior carpet down. There are 2 good how-tos on the forum.

I noticed several Youtube video about installing an EchoHitch for the Model 3, but none mention how to do the wiring.
I wonder if there is a way to tape the wires without doing any cutting or splicing?
I would be interested to know how you did the wiring, and if so could you show some pics?

Oh, sure, just get those wiretaps from your auto parts store. The wires are THIN so get the smallest you find. Like these:
