For your 2015 Tesla Model S we have the EcoHitch part # 306-X7201 that you referenced which has a 2 inch opening and a 2,000 lb trailer towing capacity. There's no drilling require to install this but it is a more in-depth install compared to most trailer hitches. Best option would be to find a Tesla dealer local to you and have them install it.

For trailer wiring you'd then want the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT which doesn't require any hardwiring.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
