Trailer Hitch on MY?

[StanT]

I was just wondering, do you think the MY AWD could get a trailer hitch? I'm not really thinking about towing (although I have one of those super cheap, put together Harbor Freight trailers I use when I need to move say a lawn tractor or couch locally and it would be cool to use it for that).

But we use our trailer hitch for the bike rack- and it would be great to continue to use it to transport bikes.

Looking to place an order sometime soon. I'm sure there will be aftermarket companies that will start making one if Tesla doesn't have a solution. Look at the many that you see on the Model S and that didn't come with one. It would be nice thought to see what Tesla's doing.

No one knows at this point.

There has supposedly been a hitch seen on one of the test cars.
The Model 3 does not have a hitch option in US but does in Europe.
There are third party options for the Model 3.

I'm hoping the hitch option is available once the TMY starts shipping. I've seen several pictures of early production TMY's with the hitch receiver exposed, so I'm crossing my fingers.....and my toes!

I will not be buying a Y unless it has a factory trailer hitch...hopefully with a 5,000 pound capacity.

I'll be waiting for the Cybertruck otherwise. I don't truly need a Cybertruck because all I want is the ability to pull a simple utility trailer or a U-Haul trailer once every few years.

5000 pounds? That's a bit of a stretch. Given it's basically a model 3 just slightly longer and higher, going from the around 2000 pounds in the European model to 5000 won't happen, most likely.

I just want a hitch for bike rack attachment and maybe occasional cargo carrier. Both require a hitch receiver even if you have no intention of towing a trailer.

Nice! It's been a while since one with a tow hitch has been spotted right? Really hoping the option makes it to the US and not just for the EU.

Moderator note: I'm locking this thread because there is an existing tow hitch discussion here. Please move future discussion to that thread. I would have merged the threads, but it would have interspersed posts from both threads and resulted in confusion. Thanks for understanding.
