    ****EDIT: Thread title should be Model X Bike Rack, not hitch****

    Had a few owners come up to me while at superchargers so wanted to create a post in case anyone else was curious.

    Installed a stealth hitch to my model 3 about a few weeks ago. Found a model X bike rack from a previous owner that sold his vehicle, decided to give it a try.

    Works perfectly and sizing couldn't be any better. I've had thule's before and this seems to be much quicker to install and easier to put on a bike.

    - Trunk opens great even when upright, got about 2"-3" of clearance without rotating the holder down.
    - Ground clearance still okay on my driveaway, will post feedback on larger speed bumps
    - Fitment on hitch was no problem and does not wobble
    - Straps to secure are very easy (not rubber) more of a zip tie locking function Screen Shot 2019-05-04 at 11.54.25 AM.png

    If anyone has questions feel free to ask away!

    Does autopilot get concerned that something is following you too close when bike are loaded? It does seem to block the rear camera view.

    Also - do you get grief from local constabulary about obscuring the license plate?
