Don't have any awesome photos yet, but just took delivery yesterday! An honest dream come true, I'm still getting used to walking up to this beauty!

For those of you who have taken delivery in the last couple of days (VIN ~360xxx+ or thereabouts), take a look under your rear bumper at the underbody / diffuser panel. Do you have a removable panel where a hitch would / could be installed like the Model X has? If so, snap a couple of pictures and do some digging as to what's underneath if you would. I noticed this panel at my local delivery center this past week, but I neglected to snap any pictures and the store employees wouldn't let me pull the panel off to do any further digging. Thanks in advance!
This is the Model X, but the 3 I saw looked similar...

What is your build? The one I was looking at was an AWD (non-Performance) w/ black interior, built on 5/10/19. I do know that VINs don't necessarily line up with production dates since VINs are assigned in batches ahead of time. What's the build date in your door jamb?

Never mind, I see that your car is a SR+ built this month 5/19. Maybe just the AWD / Performance assembly line? I don't know...

The Model S isn't rated for a trailer, but there are some aftermarket hitches for it and some people tow with it. Tesla has a habit of putting changes into production before announcing it so maybe a towing option is coming for the Model 3?

I am surprised they are doing such a low tow hitch on the Model 3. If there were Air Suspension they could raise it, but my original 3P hitch scrapes every time I pull in/out of the driveway and don't crank the wheel around. If it's a factory hitch I would think they could come straight out the back thru a factory modified body panel.
I am dying to know what options Tow Mode for the Model 3 offers and if it will be available in all cars or only those from the factory. This detour probably should have been posted in a Towing thread. Moderators?

Use low suspension. Duh.Oreo finally got her chrome delete.
Thinking of lowering it about an inch or so. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Still gotta do the side mirror chrome but I'm happy with it so far, yep it needs a wash, will do it after the mirrors then ceramic coat it.

There's something about this that's so black, it's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.
