Tow Hitch Waiting Room
- Thread starter MrBadger
- Start date
If you can view the html on that page and do a search, TW00 is no tow hook, and TW01 is tow hook. It could be there just not displayed if they do something daft like only list up to 8 items in the spec (its at the end of the list on mine)
Didn't find anything obvious - no codes although found the dialogue that contained only what was on screen.

We are the same as you. Car delivered September 2019 and tow hitch not under vehicle details but shown on the order and the final invoice. But we use ours for towing a folding camper.

Same here. It was on the details prior to delivery, however the tow bar no longer shows up. Car was collected March 2021.
Strange. Under ‘manage’ your cars I can even just copy the image url and I can see the codes in that.
Found it. I was one level too far down. It was in the top teslaaccount page with the manage option, not the manage page itself that the 'car details' dialogue is on.
TW01 present.
options=APF2,APBS,DV4W,IN3PB,PPSB,PRM31,SC04,TW01,MDL3,W38B,MT303,CPF1,DRRH,RSF1

Reassuring that you’ve found it. You can drop the options into here and it gives you a full breakdown which gives more info than Tesla like to display (which is how I became aware of it)
Does anyone keep their tow hit on for extended periods of time? Are there any issues, specifically with muck getting kicked up in that area and exposed electrics / tow hitch mount?
Its been a long time since I've looked in that area and cannot remember how exposed the electrics are - on a previous setup, the electrics use to have a sprung flap to protect them. I've never had a removerable hitch before. Tesla talk about a dust cover, but I can only picture the big access hole below the bumper (that looks like everything will accumulate up there when not in place) but nothing specifically to cover the electrics and tow hitch mount that will no doubt be greasy.

The socket has a springloaded cap to protect this. The tow hitch socket shouldn’t get too grubby, as the tow hitch itself will be inserted? Obviously, there’s nothing to stop that whole area from getting a layer of muck, without the large plastic cover being in place.
Hi. - UK based - I have the same bike rack for the saem reason - ebike - currently on my volvo xc 90. thinking of buying a M3 or Y with tow hitch - any problems with the easyfold clearance or weight or any other thoughts? TIA

I gave up waiting for Tesla to get towbars in stock so i went the aftermarket route for a third of the price

The Y has 1600kg as standard. The 3 still requires the tow bar specced from build otherwise it’s rated to 0kg.
