Good move. Like I told the guy, 3k is way too much money for a hitch.I checked back and adding the hitch for $1000, also would change my base price for the car $990. So I cancelled the hitch. $1990 total is a lot to pay for a hitch. I am counting on it being retrofittable.
No way it would be 2" as that invites idiots overloading the car with some huge trailer. 2" receiver is not even legal unless the vehicle tow rating is adequate.Hopefully this means the software and wiring are available for those even with a 3rd part hitch. Would prefer 2” just to keep things like bike racks common size between vehicles without adapters...
Size of trailer or ball has nothing to do with weight and you can haul a big trailer on a 2" ball as it depends on what is in it (tongue weight). Of course speed is always a factor when hauling. I would have no problem with a 2" ball, maintaining overall/tongue weight and driving a slow speed. Not an idiot just been towing for 40 years. Back in the country and two country blocks with light stuff not a problem. Cops are reasonable with us locals as long as you are reasonable. If I am filling it up with sand fill I would use the tractor loader to load it and to also pull it.No way it would be 2" as that invites idiots overloading the car with some huge trailer. 2" receiver is not even legal unless the vehicle tow rating is adequate.

Same hereI got my Model X towing package installed after delivery (because it was in the order but missing in the delivered car). This makes me confident they will offer retrofit for Model Y though not sure how much extra, if it all, they'll charge. I am hopeful it will be the same $1,000 since the option came in so early after the launch.
In my case it was $1920. I guess it depends on configuration and color. I ordered white which originally had cost me $1000 (back when black was standard), now that white is free I got back $1000 on color so really I am only laying out an additional $920.This is somewhat maddening, as that option was not available when I place my order. If it was, I'd have ordered it. Now, when it finally comes out, and only about a month into deliveries, adding it changes the cost of previous options. I'd jump right on it for $1000, but not for $2990.
There are after market 1 1/2 to 2" adapters if you already have 2" accessories.This, I have the Tesla bike rack from my X that I would like to use on my Y

So I have next to no knowledge about towing. Why is it undesirable to use an adapter?

For bike racks it sticks the rack another 6-9" out the back of your car, which increases the leverage on the tow hitch and makes it more likely for you to back the bikes/boxes/etc. into something.
