I had similar thoughts. The stock cover is difficult to routinely take on/off. I am constantly putting rack on and taking it off. I cut out a 77mm X 77mm square in the cover and trimmed using door edge molding. Total cost $4.

Email sent! Picking up my MYP next week and this will be on the mod list. My Kuat bike rack will be on/off a couple times a week, so a clean solution is needed.

Review of new MY Hitch Cover for all VIN's!
Hello all! I currently own an MYP, and MS Plaid, and was longing for a better hitch receiver cover than the crappy (and hard to remove) OEM plastic cover. After much searching, I found a company making a high quality, made in the USA (NY, specifically), solution and wanted share pictures and...

This has been updated for all VINs. I got the machined one it is really cool but for those on a budget, check it:
Model Y All VINs hitch cover
Model Y All VINs hitch cover
This is the one I ordered.
I appreciate what people in the community are trying to do but the one listed earlier is an eyesore.

Of course this is personal opinion but which one do you think does not match tesla aesthetics? The machined one or the one with the hole in the middle of the cover?
Thank you for this. I ordered the older version but it didn't work with my 2022 MY.The manufacture has just announced a new production for both the MY pre 150k vin and a universal fit for MY

With your response you must have misread the question. It asked which one were you talking about and then gave both examples.

Don’t feel bad, I didn’t get a clear answer when I asked either!
The machined one with multiple holes and the Tesla logo. I stated in my reply that the one that was mentioned when this thread started is an eyesore. The Ungodly Design version is much nicer but you need to make sure it works with your VIN number. Again, it's in the eye of the beholder and you're all entitled to your opinion but my personal opinion is that the tow hitch cover that started this whole thread (#1) does not live up to the Tesla design standards.

I got this one. Fit pretty well. I think I’ll have to tinker a bit to see why one side has slightly larger gap. Hope this doesn’t suggest tesla installed hitch at a slight angle.The manufacture has just announced a new production for both the MY pre 150k vin and a universal fit for MY

I like the clean OEM look. If I start using my tow hitch regularly, I’ll just order the Tesbros hitch cover removal tools for $20.
