Hello, we just got our 2019 Telsa Model 3 and need to install a hitch so we can carry our bikes. Which is the best one.

The best trailer hitch for a 2019 Tesla Model 3 is the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver part # EH84GR. The EcoHitch installs completely behind the rear bumper so you will not even be able to tell a trailer hitch is even installed while the receiver tube is removed. This actually brings me to the removable receiver tube which is a feature specific to the EcoHitch and allows for a 100% factory like appearance. Please note, you will need to remove the rear bumper for installation but this only needs to be done one time. Also, there is a small portion of the rear bumper fascia that must be trimmed for the receiver tube but this is unavoidable and also cannot be seen from outside the vehicle. There is however a cover for this hole while the reciever tube is not in use, the Undercover Access Hole Cover for EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-XA2002.

I have attached an install video on the above trailer hitch for you as well as a list of our bike racks. I personally really like the Kuat NV 2.0 Base 2-Bike Platform Rack part # BA22B as it preforms really well and is very aesthetically pleasing due to the sleek finish.
