What is this thing in my UMC bundle bag?

[umeshunni]

In my charging bundle, I have:
1. A UMC
2. J1772 adapter
3. NEMA 14-50 Adapter
4. NEMA 5-15 Adapter

and a mystery screwy thing that looks like this but is black:

A quick online search tells me it's a towing eye and it's used to tow my car?

Yes that's what is for.

It's more like a hook to drag your car onto a flatbed. Should the car not be able to move on it's own, you need this to safely attach to a winch to move the car

My car arrived with it flopping around in the frunk. :/.

I thought that was a bit odd that it doesn't have a dedicated storage place, but I relocated it to a small bag I keep in the lower rear trunk area that has my charger kit and a couple other things.

Your friend, the manual https://www.teslamotors.com/sites/d...Manual_Touchscreen_DAS_NA_R20160317_en_US.pdf
Page 179 shows where the towing eye goes
The cable kit bag has a fabric loop to hold the towing eye

Now you all need to tell US Mill Works - Front License Plate Brackets to use this eye socket to make a kit for Model X so I can get a non-marring plate holder. Thank you.

There you go... RTFM. I guess there's a spot for it in the charging kit bag -- thanks, Gwgan.

Hmm. Mine is stored under the frunk mat. There is a cut out for it. I also keep my j1772 in the deep side slot of the glovebox so i dont have to open the trunk and bag.

I believe the 'cutout in the floor' evaporated with the refresh, no? Seems like something slipped through the upgrade, as so often does. I plan to wrap it in a little bubble wrap and stuff it in the UMC bag.
