Expert Answers about Tesla Model X

  • Bike Rack for Aventon Aventure E-Bikes With Ramp and Lights
  • Hi Kalani; assuming I'm looking at the correct Aventon Aventure you need a bike rack capable of handling 77 lbs per bike. The closest option we have that includes everything you're looking for is the Thule Epos Bike Rack w/ LEDs for 2 Bikes # TH49XE. However, it has a max capacity of 140 lbs (75 lbs for 1 bike) so you're going to have to remove the batteries to carry the bikes. This bike rack comes with locks for the bike rack and bikes, along with LED tail lights you will plug into a...

  • What is the Tongue Weight of the Draw-Tite # 76143 on My 2018 Model X?
  • When we have listed tongue weights, the tongue weight rating is the weight that a hitch can handle vertically pressing down on the receiver. This is the vertical weight/accessory rate rating you are asking for. The maximum gross trailer weight, on the other hand, is the horizontal weight of anything that is attached to the hitch (pulled from behind). Since the tongue weight on the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76143 is 750 pounds, it will be able to accommodate a 375-pound...

  • Does Lets Go Aero V-Lectric VFR Bike Rack Have Light and License Plate Kit
  • Hello again Kalani; the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric VFR Bike Rack # LGA25VR does not have a specific light and license plate kit. However, the same Curt # C53201 would work well with this bike rack. You can actually see the lights on the bike rack in the picture below from one of our customers. For a license plate bracket you could use the Yakima PlateMate License Plate Holder # Y02713 which can easily be attached with the included straps.

  • Lightweight Hitch Cargo Carrier for 2019 Tesla Model X
  • The Curt cargo carrier part # C18100 is a lighter weight carrier due to it being made mostly out of aluminum. For a lighter weight option for your 2019 Tesla Model X with a hitch like the Draw Tite part # 76143 installed this would be a really great option. It weight just under 30 lbs. For a hitch lock that doubles as an anti-rattle device the part # 63232 would be a great option as well. This holds the shank of the carrier to the hitch tube so that movement and noise is removed. I attached...

  • Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Towing Capacity of 2018 Tesla Model X
  • It is possible to upgrade the hitch on your 2018 Tesla Model X with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit part # 76143 which rated for 5,000 lbs gross towing weight however you are only as strong as your weakest component and in this case that would be the vehicle itself. I took a look at the online owner's manual for the 2018 Tesla Model X and according to Tesla the loaded weight of a trailer towed by the model X with 245/45R19 or 275/45R20 tires should never exceed...

  • Will Hopkins Adapter 7 Pole to 4 Pole Work on 2024 Tesla Model Y
  • Hey Kathy! As long as you have a 7-way already on your 2024 Model Y you can use the Adapter 7 Pole to 4 Pole with Tester and Cover # 47345. This is a universal part that will allow you to connect a 4-way for trailer lights to the 7-way on your vehicle. Will you be using this to tow a trailer like the Yakima Rack and Roll # Y08107?

  • Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty For 2024 Tesla Model X
  • Hey Mark! Are you wanting to add the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty to your Model X? The # RED53CR has a custom wiring harness that is not designed for Tesla. Since there is no custom brake controller wiring harness available, you need to use the # RED52VR. This comes with the universal wiring harness which will splice in for installation. What are you towing with your Tesla?

  • Can GearSpace 34 Enclosed Cargo Carrier # HGK819 Be Used On 2023 Tesla Model X?
  • Hello Vail, thanks for reaching out. The GearSpace 34 Enclosed Cargo Carrier # HGK819 can be used on virtually any vehicle with a 2" hitch, although this is not something we have specifically tested on a Tesla Model X. I do suggest you measure and make sure your hitch has adequate clearance. As long as the distance from your hitch pin hole to the farthest edge of the bumper is less than 10", you will have room for the carrier. The carrier itself weight 160 lbs, and has a 300 lb carrying...

  • Template for StageTwo Bike Rack Light Kit
  • I don't have a template since it is designed for the existing holes on the StageTwo. We also don't have the StageTwo or the light kit in our local warehouse right now for me to try and measure either of them and find the spacing. I would reach out to Yakima directly to see if they have that information available. You can use a 7-Way to 4-Way adapter on your vehicle like # PK12716 so it will work with the lights.

  • How Does The Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator DM72VR Bolt On?
  • Hello Curtis, thanks for reaching out. Either way will be sufficient for mounting the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM72VR. It just depends how the tongue is configured. If the actuator you are replacing uses grade 5 bolts and nuts that it totally fine to bolt it on that way. Just be careful not to over tighten. See the picture I attached. What kind of trailer do you have? Just curious

  • LED Trailer Lights Not Working with 2016 Tesla Model X with Tow Package
  • The issue your are experiencing is likely similar to the problems that require adapter # C57003. The LED lights do not draw enough power for the tow package to recognize that they are there. The brake magnets draw more power which is why the controller recognizes that a trailer is connected. The load resistors in the adapter will simulate increased load on the system allowing the LED trailer lights to work. LED lights do not draw much power but the range on your 2016 Telsa Model X is going...

  • Is There A Hitch For A 2024 Tesla Model X?
  • Hey John, Currently it does not look like we have any custom fit hitches for the 2024 Tesla Model X. That hitch you suggested fits up to a 2023, but we have not confirmed it to fit the 2024 model. I looked around and it looks like at this moment Tesla is the only one who has a hitch for that vehicle on the market and it looks like it's just going to be the typical factory hitch. Not necessarily an upgraded hitch" I do not have a timeline on when we should be getting those but feel free...

  • Does Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch For 2016 Tesla Model X Hide Under Bumper
  • I have added a couple photos showing the Draw-Tite hitch on a Tesla Model X, one that is during the install and the other the completed install. So the body of the hitch is indeed hidden behind the bumper fully, but the receiver will still show and will not be hidden on your 2016 Tesla Model X. The correct part number for the hitch that fits your '16 Model X is the following: - Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76143

  • Recommended Hitch and Sway Control for a 2023 Tesla Model X
  • Like you said the use of a weight distribution system depends on the vehicle specifications. I checked with Tesla and they do not recommend the use of one due to the unibody construction. Weight distribution systems transfer a portion of the weight of the trailer to the vehicle. A bumpy road will transfer a lot of stress into the unibody of the Model X. The reason that's considered detrimental is that the entire body will bend and twist repeatedly, and could eventually fail. While the...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Telsa Model X
  • I checked with our vendors and as of 04/27 the only hitch available for the 2023 Tesla Model X is the Draw-Tite item # 76143. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Tesla with included hardware. It does not have a removable receiver so you wouldn't need to use the magnetic accessory. However, there will still need to be a hole cut in the removable panel for the 2" receiver. I have linked the installation instructions below. You will also need a wiring kit but there are none available...

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2020 Tesla Model X
  • The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B is still the best and only option for installing a roof rack on your 2020 Tesla Model X. All the information from Heather in the question you asked from is still relevant for your vehicle. Like using the cable lock part # e98891 and the SeaSucker Cable Anchor part # 298-BA0020 to keep everything secured. One other thing I would say differently is my recommendation of a kayak carrier. For a J-style carrier that can also be used as a post-style...

  • Will Yakima Swing EXO Storage System fit 2023 Tesla Model X and 2022 Audi Q7
  • Hey Bernie, yeah as long as the vehicle has a 2 inch hitch installed on it the Yakima Exo Swing Away Storage System part # Y44ZR will fit and work great. If you need a hitch for the 2023 Tesla Model X you'd want the Draw Tite part # 76143 and for the 2022 Audi Q7 part # C13277 would work awesome.
