I do have an option for you but the only confirmed trailer hitch fit we have for a 2023 Tesla Model 3 is Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT23GR. It has a 1-1/4" opening which will be great for towing or hitch mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. If you need a larger 2" opening you'll have to use an adapter, the Trailer Hitch Adapter part # e93YR or part # e43YR.

The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver features a bolt-on install with no drilling required.
