Yes, we do have installers in your area. You will want to go to the product page for the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 76143, you were looking at, and click on the link below the picture that says "Locate installers near me". You will type in your zip code and find multiple options in your area. I can confirm that the Draw-Tite item # 76143 does fit your 2016 Tesla Model X. It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 750 lbs.

If you are in need of a wiring harness I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit item # 119250KIT. This kit does not require splicing into your Tesla's wiring system and will provide you with a 4-flat connector. I have linked an installation video.

To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case.
