It's frustrating that Tesla has made this subject so confusing, and I'm not sure if anyone will have an answer. For the Model Y tow hitch, Tesla initially said that with the 20" wheels the towing capacity was reduced from 3500 to 2300 lbs, and the tongue capacity was reduced from 350 to 230 lbs. This seems like a pretty dramatic reduction. On their website though, they seem to have removed this distinction (see here: UPDATE: Tesla Model Y Towing |20-In Wheels Don't Reduce Weight Capacity.). I assume they just corrected the specifications, or maybe they changed the hitch itself?
Of course I have the Model Y with 20" wheels. I'm considering putting a dirt bike carrier on the back, so clarifying this is pretty important. What worries me is the manual still has the old specs listed. Any ideas?
