Very cool! I just found the thread where you described this, at Raised ecohitch and cargo basketThat's why I made this: https://goo.gl/photos/GYhrPdgLdqszUpFN8
Disappointing news.. our beloved EcoHitches may be causing severe galvanic corrosion issues with the aluminum body.
Tesla Model S hitch by Torklift (3 year update): Eaten alive
Waiting on a response from Torklift now, but I'm afraid mine will be coming off soon.
I don't see any evidence of galvanic corrosion in those pics. Wouldn't the AL to be rotting, not the steel?
Anyone here is a metallurgist?
Very disappointing indeed! If you have yours removed, please let us know if there's any evidence of corrosion. I just had my EcoHitch installed a couple of months ago, so I'm hoping that the coating on the EcoHitch hasn't started to significantly wear off yet. If we end up removing ours, I wonder how we'd cover the hole in the bottom of our bumper.Waiting on a response from Torklift now, but I'm afraid mine will be coming off soon.

Since March. I haven't looked yet, I may have to buy an inspection camera just to take a proper look.How long has yours been on? Do you see signs of significant rust where the hitch adapter hooks in?
I just pulled off my rear bumper today. The ecohitch looks completely fine. There is no visible corrosion beyond a little surface rust. I coated all of the contact surfaces with some paint just in case.
Though I'm stuck with a different problem. I took off the bumper to install the aluminum crash bar that comes with rear facing seats (my car did not come with rear facing seats, but I'm installing it because I carry dogs in the back regularly). Unfortunately, the studs in the body are not long enough to support both the crash bar and the ecohitch! Now I have to choose... crash protection for the dogs or the ecohitch.
So does mine.I dont get it... mine has both the hitch AND the crash bar...
