I recommend the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # 391TES317T for carrying your road bike with your 2021 Tesla Model 3. This receiver will allow for you to use a receiver mounted bike rack like the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack # NV22G. This rack secures in your bikes with a wheel clamp so that there is no risk of damaging your frame. This is best for carbon fiber bike frames. There is also a built in maintenance stand in the event you need to perform some repairs to your bike while you are out.

The towing kit that is included with the receiver will allow for you to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 since the bikes will most likely obstruct the view of the tail lights on Tesla. These lights will ensure that the drivers in the vehicle behind you have a clear set of lights that can be seen.
