After going to the showroom in Bellevue this weekend and talking with a sales person that was a bit more knowledgeable; we've decided that the MS will work best for our needs. Now we are just looking at that price tag with the options we want. My husband asked me to research used since they will obviously be a little less and Tesla has such a long warranty on them. Our two biggest needs are a roof rack and hitch receiver ( we bike and kayak so need a way to carry both). Long way around to my actual question......How do I tell when looking at a description of a used S if the glass roof, pano roof and a couple of other descriptions I've read is the one that will allow us to attach a roof rack? Also, are there any years that will not allow a hitch receiver? We'd like to stay with 2015 and newer. TIA
Yes, you need the pano roof for the roof rack. As for the hitch, ecohitch provides a hitch for all models. Note that the model s is not rated for towing at all, so installation of any hitch can affect your warranty. But many model s owners have one installed.
Thanks for your response, we are not worried about towing capacity, the receiver is for a bike carrier. We have electric assist fat tire bikes that weigh 65lbs, so picking them up to put on top of the car would be a bit of a struggle for us.
