Trailer hitch

[regazzoni]

I need a trailer hitch for a bike rack. I know there are some decent (stealth) aftermarket options.
However, it woudl be nice not to deal with installation (bumper removal). Also, I woudl prefer the factory finish for the bumper hole that needs to be cut.
I understand in UK this is now a factory option. Does anyone know if and when it will become an option in the US on Tesla 3?

I am having the same issues. Please let me know if you find anything

If the hitch has not been added at the same time as the white paint change, it will probably never come IMO

 

[regazzoni]

what is the white paint change?

Pearl White Multi Coat is new standard color!

Does anyone know which bumper parts are actually different for UK hitch cutout?
is it:
Model 3, Rr Fascia, Lower, Assy
1103035-00-D

or actual bumper skin?
M3 RR FASCIA UPPER SVC

If I were to guess, it'd be the Model 3, Rr Fascia, Diffuser
1135410-00-A

 

[regazzoni]

that seems right. If I could find the UK variant with cutout and cover and Tesla actually selling it to me...

That being said it appears that some US Tesla now come with cover (still no hitch). I was hoping to get aftermarket hitch and fit though that opening...

How do you identify those which have a cover for the hitch?

2019 Model 3 Performance has a hitch cover

I'm hoping some fool runs his new Tesla thru a big puddle, tears his rear plastic diffuser fascia off, and then sells it on eBay to me.

We’ve just ordered ours (in the UK) with the tow pack. I’ll take a photo when it arrives.
I’ll be interested to see what it does to the range when full of bikes...

I have failed to find any useful information on a trailer hitch for the model 3.
Ideally the wiring and hardware would both be installed, but just a hitch would allow for a very desirable bike rack.
Any links to a solution are greatly appreciated.
Or stories of how you carry two bikes on or in your model 3.
I'm bumping two old threads with this request as the question seems to be asked often and never gets anywhere.
