Question:

Hello, I had a 2021 Tesla model 3 on which I had installed a Curt 13449. I am replacing this car by a 2024 model 3 AWD Lr and I intend to take it off the 2021 and installed in on the 2024. Searching on your website, this product is not listed for 2024 model year. Do you know if it will fit my 2024? I know Tesla has been actively trying to prevent people for installing such hitch and that might be why its no longer listed. But in my case, I dont intend to pull a trailer, its just for my bike rack. Thank you for letting my know.

Hi Yves,

There likely was a change between those model years that prevents the Curt hitch from fitting, but it could just also be that Curt hasn't been able to physically test the fit yet on that year and model. We unfortunately haven't either so the only option we can currently recommend is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391TES317. This would come with removable receiver tube that you could mount your bike rack to. The receiver tube has a 2" opening, which the most common sizing for hitch mounted accessories and has a 350lb tongue weight capacity.

If you ever do end up needing to tow a trailer then you'll need to pick up their matching towing kit # 391CONVB7 for the ball mount and wiring. This would have a 3,500lb towing capacity, but you'd still need to refer to your owner's manual for the vehicle's capacity.

Hey Yves, did you end up trying the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver on your 2024 Model 3? It sounds like a solid option for carrying your bike rack. Your update could help others moving from an older Model 3 to the new one.

@RobinH Hello , I ended up buying a Torklift ECOX6090S. It’s more affordable than stealth since it comes with a standard 2” receiver (no extra towing kit to buy if I ever need to tow) and doesn’t have the complex ball joint to change the attachment. Just a simple bolt to remove. I am pretty sure my old Curtis would have match but it’s so difficult to remove the bumper cover on this car that I didn’t want to chance it. Ended up selling it for a good price…so many Tesla around here.
