Sounds like a pretty easy DIY. Do you have any pictures/videos? Also very interested about the wiring harness.Yes I have installed the hitch, I actually just ordered it to my house and installed it myself. I ended up buying 1/16" thick rubber sheet from amazon and cut templates to put between the hitch and car (from what I read online even with the model S) the little plastic washers don't work in the long run.
The install wasn't flawless by any means, even though the hitch had slotted holes in it, I still needed to grind the slots bigger to fit the factory studs on the car. Also the angle on the hitch didn't quite match the angle on the bumper itself, but once torqued down it was fine.
Another tip is to ensure you have an extra set of hands to put the bumper cover back on.
I have recently bought the hitch wiring harness from U-Haul as well (seems to be cheapest around) and am looking to install that this weekend.

Did you have it shipped to your house or did you pick it up at U-Haul? How much was your total cost?
OK, thanks for the video.I don't have any videos or pics, but I used this video as my primary resource.
This of course is for a hidden hitch style, but the process is basically the same.
I did not ship the wire harness to my house, just picked it up locally at a U-Haul as they wanted $30 to ship a $50 part.
Cost of the hitch shipped was $234 with tax
Rubber sheet from Amazon was $13
Wiring harness was $49.95 +tax
Wow , that is an impressive DIY job!Yes I have installed the hitch, I actually just ordered it to my house and installed it myself.

Yes it comes completely off on mine. There is a removable panel already on my 2020 model so no need to cut anything or buy a cover. I tow my Laser sailboat , no problem.Does the receiver come off like the one in the video?
I looked at the install guide from Curt it looks fixed
I am ordering one and towing my boat!

OK, thanks for the video.
Can you please post a picture of the installed hitch on your car? Just wondering how far is sticks out and the looks in general.
In regards to the wiring harness, I assume it's some sort of universal model, right? Do you have to disassemble the bumper again to install the wiring?
Would be cool if it would be possible to pick up both the hitch and the wiring harness at the local U-Haul, to avoid paying any shipping
Oh and a FYI, the shipping is free once you get to a certain dollar amount (when I shipped the hitch it was free shipping, but just the wire harness didn't meet the threshold).OK, thanks for the video.

View attachment 560672 I hope you didn’t run anything to the battery, the big 12v post under the back seat is perfect, I am running 2 amplifiers from it no errors been months.
Just latch all the doors shut and wait a few minutes, the main relay shuts off and you can remove the bolt and add a fused connection.
The 2 small wiring looms you see are mine not factory
You open the door stick a screwdriver or a key in the latch and mimc it being closed. Keep the windows down so that the glass does not close, if it does and you close the door you will scratch the chrome trim.How do you work on things if all the doors are closed? Is there any documentation on using this power source? I couldn’t find much ...
Has anyone installed a hitch from U-Haul? I priced it online to just under $355.
