Hello Gilberto,
Thank you for the links, they were most helpful. The Tesla bike rack that you have is identical to the Yakima FullTilt 4. Yes, the Replacement ZipStrip Straps for Yakima Standard Bike Rack Cradles - Qty 2 # Y8890297 are the correct strap replacement.
What kind of bike do you have? Do you have a trail near by you like to ride? We have the Katy Trail here in Missouri, and it is always loaded with bikes! view full answer...
Hello Andrei,
There isn't an axle we can offer as there aren't any that small we have, but you may be able to get a different hub. I couldn't find the bearing sizes of that axle to find a new hub so you'll have to do a bit of measuring. For that you will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them.
If you are unable to find them, you need to use a digital caliper... view full answer...
Hey, Pierre!
You'll want to pick up Stealth Hitch part # 391TES317. This is a complete kit so will come with the hitch, all the hardware to install the hitch and wiring, the attachments to use it for towing or carrying a basket (like part # e98874) as well as tow a trailer.
What were you looking at towing on the trailer? view full answer...
Hey Frank, thanks for reaching out. You are in luck, the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391TES317 you ordered for your 2023 Tesla Model 3 will also fit your 2026 Model 3. That hitch will fit the 2017-2026 Model 3, so you are good to go there.
You will just need a new hardware kit, since the bolts aren't intended to be re-used. We can provide new hardware with part # RHK. When you go to the page for the # RHK there is a box where you can enter the part number for your hitch. In... view full answer...
Hey Sylvie, yes the etrailer anti-rattle device part # e38FV does work with the Tesla hitch you have installed on your Model 3. This can also be left installed at all times as well. The EasyFold XT part # TH903202 can also be used with this but your bike rack already has an integrated anti-rattle device so it wouldn't be needed with it. Why are you wanting to run both at same time? view full answer...
Yes, it does Marcus. Our etrailer item # e33ZR hitch does indeed fit the 2024 Tesla Model 3. We had a customer install one earlier this year on theirs.
The etrailer Hitch item # e33ZR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity and a maximum tongue weight of 300 lbs. It comes with all the hardware you'll need to complete the installation.
What do you plan on using your new hitch for?
You can add this information, along with any other questions you have,... view full answer...
Hey Eric, the Stealth hitch part # 391TES317T that you referenced does have the tongue weight capacity for a dirt bike and motorcycle carrier as it has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity like you noted but you are only as strong as the weakest component in a towing setup so if your vehicle only a 160 lb tongue weight capacity that would be the overall capacity. What dirt bike do you have? view full answer...
Hi Yves,
There likely was a change between those model years that prevents the Curt hitch from fitting, but it could just also be that Curt hasn't been able to physically test the fit yet on that year and model. We unfortunately haven't either so the only option we can currently recommend is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391TES317. This would come with removable receiver tube that you could mount your bike rack to. The receiver tube has a 2" opening, which the most common... view full answer...
Hey Michael, I went down to the warehouse to get the measurements.
The cable drums on that M-3 # M386FR spring system are 4 inches in diameter and 2 3/8 inches in width. The exact width isn’t specified because they’re designed to slide and adjust on the shaft to match your trailer setup.
Are you installing these on a Toy hauler, Utility trailer, ATV/Bike trailer? view full answer...
Hi Denys; you must be referring to the factory reinforcement beam or the base plates. Removing these won't hurt anything and isn't uncommon for a hitch with this design. The instructions for the # 391TES317 actually allow for the reinstallation of the reinforcement beam after the hitch is attached. The base plates must be discarded if you do this but they're replaced by the brackets for the hitch. When the reinforcement beam is discarded the hitch takes its place. view full answer...
Hey Bjorn,
We do have a wiring harness for that 2019 Model 3. Along with that hitch, # EH84GR, I recommend the wiring harness # 119250KIT. This is going to give you a 4 flat connection at the rear of the vehicle, and better yet it is a plug and play installation so it does not require any splicing!
What are you looking to tow with your Tesla? view full answer...
At one point some of the hitches we offered did require the use of a stabilizer strap when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack but recently the one manufacturer that required this (Curt) decided it was not longer needed. So the EcoHitch you referenced part # EH84GR did not ever require the strap and currently still does not. This is the most hidden option we have has the lower hitch opening totally removes when not in use.

Roy, I completely understand why you are checking before buying because the Model 3 sits lower than most vehicles, and once you start adding a swing away base, bike rack, and bikes together, things can get heavy and awkward pretty quickly.
The Saris Swing Away Hitch Extender part # SAR36VR is designed for 2 inch hitch receivers, so the first thing we would want to confirm is whether your 2026 Tesla Model 3 has a 2 inch hitch installed. Most Model 3 hitches are actually 1 1/4 inch receivers,... view full answer...
Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out!
According to the installation instructions you'll need to torque the flange nuts for the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391TES317 to 45 ft-lbs.
Please note it's always important to check the copy of instructions that came with your hitch to ensure proper torque as we've seen this change under special circumstances. view full answer...
The Curt 2-inch trailer hitch part # C45FR is a fit for your 2019 Tesla Model 3 and is by far the best value hitch option out there. It's a new fit at this time (April 2020) so we don't have much feedback on it or an install video.
I did attach an install instructions link that is very detailed and will walk you through the process of the install as well.
You will have to cut a small hole in the lower fascia panel for the hitch opening to fit through which I attached a picture of. view full answer...

Hey Josh,
I can get your 2024 Tesla Model 3 set up with a hitch, though the # e33ZR you asked about hasn't been confirmed as a fit for the '24 Tesla 3, so we'll need to go a different route. Reason for that is the '24 Model 3 got a bit of a redesign and it's just now getting into people's hands to see what hitches will fit.
So I went ahead and checked with our manufacturers to see what we could do for you, and found out that Stealth Hitches does have fits for the 2024 Model 3. They actually... view full answer...
