We don't typically recommend bike rack covers for the back of a passenger vehicle like your 2019 Tesla Model 3, since it's going to create added drag and potentially additional stress on the rack; we typically only recommend using them on RVs since the rack is going to be mostly shielded from most of the wind. If you want to use a bike rack cover on the Hollywood Racks TRS Bike Rack # HR3000.
I recommend using the Swagman Bike Cover for RVs - Large - 2 Bikes # S24FR since it's designed... view full answer...
The weight of the EcoHitch part # EH84GR which fits your 2018 Tesla Model 3 is 45 lbs. When not in use you could use the access hole cover part # 306-XA2002 which would totally cover up the hole and would give you same aerodynamics as before the hitch was installed. view full answer...
On the 2018 models it was true that you had to trim a hole in the lower rear fascia. However for your 2020 Tesla Model 3 to install the # EH84GR It is no longer necessary to trim it because they come with a knock out in that location so that the lower hitch opening can attach to the hitch's main crossbeam.
I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out on a similar 2021 Tesla Model 3. view full answer...
Adding a trailer hitch to a vehicle like the 2021 Tesla Model 3 you were looking at at your local Tesla dealer will not void the vehicle warranty.
This is due to you being protected by the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, passed by Congress in 1975, ensures that consumers can install aftermarket parts without the fear of voiding their warranty. The only way the warranty would be voided is if the install of the component or the component itself caused the damage to the vehicle.

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...
The Kuat Transfer V2 1 bike rack part # KU64FR and the RockyMounts Mono Rail part # RKY10007 are both really great options but I would go with the Kuat for ease of loading since the bike wouldn't have to be lifted quite as high and because it is slightly lighter weight. The Kuat is 9-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to nearest portion of the rack when folded up whereas the RockyMounts is 12 inches. view full answer...
We do have a few great hidden hitch solutions for your 2022 Tesla Model 3. The most hidden is the Stealth hitch part # 391TES317 and the EcoHitch part # EH84GR which have removable lower sections that allow it to be totally hidden when not in use if you like. These do cost a little more though. We also have the Curt Hitch part # C45FR which only has the lower hitch opening that hangs below the bumper. This is a mostly hidden design that costs quite a bit less.
So really it comes down to... view full answer...
We have a few different mounting options for recovery boards, like the Maxtrax Xtreme Recovery Boards # MA74FV you were looking at, but they're a bit more specific to the style of ladder rack you're attaching to. Maxtrax offers pins like part # MA73PR and # MA83PR that can slide into a t-slot on a crossbar or platform rack. They have small holes to allow for locks like part # MA22PR to help prevent theft.
Rhino-Rack offers the # RR43159-RMTXMPS and # RR43235 which can also attach to a... view full answer...
We do have a hitch and wiring for your 2023 Tesla Model 3. For a hitch I recommend the etrailer # e33ZR. This bolts on over your rear bumper beam and will be concealed aside from the receiver hanging down at the back. If you would rather have a completely hidden option check out the EcoHitch Stealth # EH84GR. This has a removable receiver so it wont' be visible when not in use.
For wiring you can use the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and... view full answer...
The big advantage you get from the Stealth hitch part # 391TES317 is the detachable lower hitch opening which gives you ability to have a totally invisible setup when that's desired. For some people this is a really appealing and great option as some people REALLY don't like the look of trailer hitches. For others the mostly hidden Curt # C45FR or etrailer # e33ZR is the better option since the cost is less and the hitch still functions well. With these hitches only the hitch opening is visible. view full answer...
The best trailer hitch receiver for your 2022 Tesla Model 3 is from Stealth Hitches, for a number of reasons. First is that the receiver and ball mount are removable, so when you aren't using your bike rack or towing, your Tesla is going to completely retain its factory appearance. It also does not require any type of drilling into your Tesla's frame, which not only makes the install easier but is great for your vehicle.

While there isn't a locking pin for the lower portion of the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH84GR the good news is this won't be a high-theft item at all for a few reasons. Most people would not assume that it comes off as it appears like a standard hitch, even if they knew it came off they'd have to have the correct size wrench on them to remove it, and even if knew it wouldn't really be of much value to anyone. This is a super specific application which the likelihood of someone... view full answer...
The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 391TES317T you were looking at for your 2020 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus measures in at 16" from the ground to the top of the receiver portion, or 18" to the top of the hitch ball.
There is not sort of adapter to get more rise, and there is not another hitch available that can use a standard ball mount.
Due to that the only options would be lowering the trailer suspension, or fabricating a tongue below your current one lowering... view full answer...
I have the perfect cargo box for your in the Inno Wedge 660 Rooftop Cargo Box part # INBRM660WH. I went out to our warehouse for you and measured from the center of the forward-most mounting clamp while slide to the front of the box to the front edge of the box and came back with only 18". Therefore, the Inno Wedge 660 will not have near as much overhang as the Yakima RocketBox Pro 11 Rooftop Cargo Box that you have now. The Inno Wedge 660 also has a much more aerodynamic design as you... view full answer...
The tongue weight capacity of the Stealth hitch # 391TES317 that fits your 2019 Tesla Model 3 is 200 lbs and the EcoHitch # EH84GR is 300 lbs which also is a confirmed fit. Both of these are great options with the big advantage that when you don't need it you can remove the lower opening completely and it's totally invisible. This is great from an aesthetic point of view as well as for aerodynamics. Your vehicle was designed to be as aerodynamic as possible to maximize mileage which includes... view full answer...
I don't know what roof rack you have but if you are missing the strip for the crossbars that covers the channels that would be why it's whistling. If you have Rhino Rack Vortex aero bars the part # RRM626 would be what you'd need to cover it. view full answer...
The ground clearance of a trailer hitch on a 2020 Tesla Model 3 will be pretty much the same no matter which option you go with as they all install in the same fashion. The location of the receiver tube is dictated by the manufacturer due to where they place the knockout panel. The ground clearance will be limited but there's really nothing you can do about this unless you go with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver part # 391TES317 which has a removable receiver tube that only limits... view full answer...
For your 2018 Tesla Model 3 we have two Stealth hitch options. We have the part # 391TES317 which comes with a lower hitch opening that can only be used with a hitch accessory like a bike rack and we also have the part # 391TES317T which includes the same things plus all of the accessories needed to also tow a trailer like wiring and ball mount which hitch ball.
Essentially the # 391TES317T is the # 391CONVB5 plus the # 391TES317. view full answer...
