That’s great. I forgot to mention that I has a model Y with towing. I have an older Thule bike rack and it fits fine. With the newer Thule be ok with a Tesla model Y?

Hi James, sorry to hear about your e-bikes! You can replace those straps with the Replacement Wheel Strap #TH34FR66MY and Replacement Bike Attachment Kit #TH34FR58MY. Have you managed to recover the bikes? What kind of e-bikes were they? Those are…
