Looks like a factory hitch may be an option for the 2021 S

[gbailey]

I know there have been rumors before of a hitch option for the new S, however having just found this on the EPC a hitch option looks highly likely!

It will probably be only for European cars, just like with the Model 3.

I wouldn’t think so. The Model Y is available to order now with a factory hitch for the North American market.

 

[MP3Mike]

Only the SUVs/CUVs (Model X and Y) have had a towing option in North America. While in Europe the Model 3 has it as well, but it has never been offered here.

Do you know if the US M3’s have the “hatch” for the hitch fitted but no hitch option to order? I know a few people who have retrofitted their M3’s with an Ecohitch and the Euro under tray with the access panel. I’m very much looking forward to a more “factory” hitch option for my next S…..

Let’s hope! I would love to haul my bikes on the new MS.

Most likely correct. It's a shame though. Wonder why the difference in each Country.

1565583-OO-A is code for "Model X" I'm sure in North America.

It does say sales are restricted for the Aeroshield vs. Over the counter for the cover Assy.

It would be awesome if these parts were just included with a tow hitch.

The cover is already on cars being delivered now in NA. This is a picture of the rear undertray of a recently delivered LR.

Omar confirmed the plastic is removable there. Aftermarket could go there easily. Tesla could absolutely do it. But why? It's a sedan. I guess for a bike rack maybe

I have a hitch on my current S and it’s invaluable for carrying my bikes and towing a small kayak trailer. It’s maybe not essential for everyone but it makes my life a whole lot easier!

More teasers and a sense that an option for towing is coming to the S. This is a screen from a recently delivered LR S.

Nope, that is the menu for getting your Model S ready to be towed.

Well, you learn something every day. Thanks!

I’ll just need to wait until my new car is delivered.

Yeah, the EcoHitch is a nice aftermarket option for those wanting a hitch on their S. I have been using SeaSuckers to carry my bikes on my S. Both are great solutions, IMHO.
