Hey Alfred! What kind of motorcycle do you have? At 500 lbs there won't be a hitch that can handle holding your motorcycle on the rear of your Model 3. The highest tongue weight capacity is on the Stealth Hitch # 391TES317T which is maxed at 350 lbs. Even if the hitch could handle the weight of your motorcycle and carrier I doubt the vehicle tongue weight is rated that high. I'm sorry to say the only option is to install a hitch and wiring so you can tow a small trailer.
The Stealth Hitch is nice but if you want to save some money the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH84GR will work just as well. For wiring you can use the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT and for a ball mount the # e38NR.
