Question:
Hi, I have a Tesla Model Y with a factory-installed hitch/towing package. I am interested in a dedicated bike rack or a cargo rack that can also carry bikes. I will be carrying two bikes, one is an e-bike that weighs about 80 pounds and the other would be a regular bike, weighing between 20 - 30 pounds. The ebike is has a long wheelbase, of about ~60. It is a Tern GSD. I currently have a 1UP rack that I love, but because of how it secures the bike to the rack by clamping onto the wheels, the Tern GSD cant be used due to the rear rack. Another thing that has proven to be tricky is the limited clearance for a hitch pin with the Model Y towing package. Any suggestions at all are very welcome, thank you!

Hello Eric, thanks for reaching out. We do have a rack that seems to meet all of your requirements. What I recommend is the following:
- Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HLY84FR
This rack is great for heavy bikes, it has a weight capacity of up to 80 lbs per bike. It also can accommodate wheelbases up to 60", so it sounds like this will work well for your bike. Just keep in mind the rack is a frame mount, so you may need an adapter bar like part # HLY84FR for your Tern GSD since it has an alternative frame style. Also the E-bike will need to go on the position closest to the car, with the regular bike on the rearmost position.
Another good thing about this rack is the hitch lock. The lock face actually points towards the rear of the vehicle, not to the side. This will help you have room to get the lock on and the key in given the limited clearance.
Your Tesla has a 2" hitch on the back, correct?

Yes, it has a 2” hitch from the factory.
