Hitch receiver size?

Tell me what "and more" is and what the specs are for the accessory hitch to make sure "and more" works.

The 'and more' is really up to your imagination.

Yes, I did read that and it refers to a 1.25" hitch. The accessory hitch is now listed as a 2". I can understand they want everyone to get the tow package but the verbiage for the accessory hitch on the design page says:

Accessory Hitch

Add a factory installed 2" accessory hitch to your Model X for carrying bikes, skis, snowboards and more. Compatible with all 2" hitch mounted racks.

I understand your point better as I missed that they changed it from 1.25" to 2". I'd be willing to bet the weight remains. I'm sure they just realized that there are a lot more 2" accessory options than 1.25". I bet they did not redesign any suspension or framing to beef up from what they had on the 1.25" spec tho. Adelman confirmed that there are physical changes to the frame for the towing package.

Amateur hour....
Get it together TSLA, fomenting confusion among your customers is never a good idea.
I called my DS last week and confirmed the 2" accessory hitch before paying $500 to change my order. Now I don't know what to think.

Why would you pay the 500 to save 750. When I found out about the change, I spoke with a rep and he explained that the tow still added value to my usage scenario. Plus changing it now would only save me 250. I kept the tow package for that price.

Actually, I upgraded my order to the tune of several thousand dollars, but I downgraded from the tow package to defray the extra upgrade cost. I will need a 2" hitch receiver but don't need to tow anything.

Did you talk to your DS and see if it can be undone?

I will call them tomorrow to see what's up.

I look forward to any information you can provide. Did your DS give you the same 120Lbs weight limit listed in the owners manual?

And says it is "Compatible with ALL 2" hitch mounted racks". So it must have a hitch pin attachment? My poor Inside sales adviser.

I think that started already started around January 11th when it first changed to 2". :smile:

He confirmed 2" receiver size and 120lbs.
