Tow hitch or inside for bikes - Both work!

[Medic]

For all the cyclists out there,

Tow hitch takes a 2in rack and a road bike goes in with a lot of room to spare with the seats down.

Thanks for the info to us cyclists. I was wondering have you tried removing the front wheel and standing the bike up vertically? I typically use a fork holder mounted to a length of 1x8 and can fit a couple of bikes in the rear of our Honda Element. Will be ordering my MY soon so I dont have a ‘test’ vehicle. thx

Not sure how good this works but saw this available from another post.....Model Y Hitch Cover Removal Tools | LivingTesla

Flat blade screwdriver in the slot at the top middle of the removable panel, then work left and right to pop it out.
Whole area is very flimsy so care needed putting it back.

That would depend on your frame size and seat height. Also the rear window has a very shallow angle. YMMV.

Top edge, right half, of the cover is the target area to start applying pressure with screwdriver or similar item. There is another thread that had someone provide 3D printer info and ordering info for a tool that works pretty well. Not difficult to get on/off once you know where to start...

Rode my bike 40 mins to the delivery center to pick up the MY
As an avid cyclist, this is the car I have been waiting for
Picked up a blanket to keep things clean when the Cross bike goes inside
It truly is a Spaceship

A crossbike? You're even craZZier than Medic.

(Glad to see the blanket, but I would have wrapped the bike up like a burrito.)
