The hitch (if available in US) will certainly be a decision maker for switching from Model 3 to Model Y.Somebody needs to get a good shot of that hitch receiver.

The Y rear is ugly

I saw that model Y at the Fairfield Supercharger a few hours ago. Didn’t notice the hitch. Was just too amazed at actually seeing one in the wild in person to focus on the details.

It's not great, but neither is other Teslas and even most crossovers for that matter. Also, have you seen the BMW X4/X6? Any new Mercedes car (except the wagon)? Audi and Porsche are pretty much the only common vehicles that all look really good these days (Genesis and Alfa are incredible, but also not common), since BMW went on their bucktooth bigger is better grille fest.
Just goes to show we all have different tastes - I don't mind the Audis (except for the silly wannabe ford mustang rear turn indicators), but all the Porsche SUVs just remind me of athletes who retired and got fat.
I think it Y’s ass looks absolutely fine.
Only thing ugly in the Tesla line up is the front of the Model 3. Not sure if Y helps that that or not.

lol what? It’s the same front end on the Y and the 3 isn’t it?
I think the front end is just fine on both.

I like both, but then again I’m an ass guy
I actually like the 3 from that angle, but the Y... Well... No comment. (Maybe if it was more wagon like, it would help?)

Lol at that analogy. I love the look of the Macan. Especially in blue. But good luck finding a used one for a good price with the options you want.

I think the Y looks fine from the rear. At least from the photos. Maybe I will think differently when I finally see a Y in person! Which has yet to happen despite being in the Bay Area. Keeping my eyes peeled, though

It looks like the back of a crossover. That's just how they look. It's like a minivan in that sense; kind of ugly no matter what you do with it. But nice utility.

One can buy a hitch (not from Tesla) for almost any car, and Tesla is no exception. I have a third party hitch on my S, have had it since it was new, tow a small trailer with it on occasion. I wouldn't doubt that I could buy one for my 3 also, so in my humble opinion, the availability or non availability of a hitch should not determine what you buy, but what fits your needs. Most people don't tow much or tow often enough to worry about it. Unless you live in Europe, where everybody tows anything with anything. I saw a Honda Civic towing a horse trailer, with a horse in it (not the Civic). Luckily we live in America.
Any hitch on the 3 will not have much towing capacity, nor will any hitch on the Y. What bothers me is the yayhoos who want to haul a house trailer with a Yugo and get all upset because the motors burn up. Many people don't have much common sense.
