Question:
I have purchased 3 years ago Order 120869732, item number 391TES317 and 391CONVB7, for my 2023 tesla model 3. Now I have purchased a different vehicle, a 2026 tesla model 3. so i was wondering if it will fit my new tesla as I am plannning to remove the hitch from the old tesla and install it in the new Tesla. For what I have seen the part number u guys sell for the new 2026 model 3 is the same as the part that I purchased 3 years ago, so the fit should be ok. However, just want to confirm with you first. thanks so much, and your products are amazing. Waiting for your response.

Hey Frank, thanks for reaching out. You are in luck, the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391TES317 you ordered for your 2023 Tesla Model 3 will also fit your 2026 Model 3. That hitch will fit the 2017-2026 Model 3, so you are good to go there.
You will just need a new hardware kit, since the bolts aren't intended to be re-used. We can provide new hardware with part # RHK. When you go to the page for the # RHK there is a box where you can enter the part number for your hitch. In this case, you will enter the part number 391TES317 in the box before adding the RHK to your cart. This will get you a whole new hardware kit.
Then if you need a new towing kit and wiring harness, you can use the # 391CONVB7.
What will you be using the hitch for?

You may be ok unless you have a 2026 performance model 3 (highland 2024-current). My old hitch from my 2023 model 3 did not fit my highland performance model 3 due to the changes to the bumper. Even with the correct hitch I had to modify the tow hook socket. The correct hitch works great.

I installed the 391TES317 on my 2024 Model 3 highland. It fit nicely. I use the hitch for a bike rack and cargo shelf, and love it. I do not know if there are changes from 2024 to 2026 that effect this. I omitted the oem Alum crash bar during install of the hitch. I did not realize I was loosing the tow hook till it was too late for me. If I ever go back into the bumper cover, I will carefully remove the tow hook bracket and mounting plate from the oem crash-bar, which I saved in may garage, cutting it down to just the minimal amount of metal, and install the tow-hook thread bracket behind the Stealth Hitch. However, I have NOT installed the 2024 WIRING KIT because I think it needs work. The cars rear light wiring changed significantly from 2023 to 2024. 2024 has the lights and new connections in the trunk lid. The trunk lid hinge and prop assembly makes the install very difficult, and I do not like the crimp in type connectors into very fine wires with virtually no space the work the connections, and virtually no space to pack them into. I have not checked recently on any lessons learned for the wiring harness. eTrailer volunteered to do the install for me (somewhat as a prototype, if I get the car down to them. I still hope to do that some time.

I installed the hitch on my 2025 M3P. You can see my previous comment and photos of how I modified the bracket and crash bumper in order to keep the tow hook mount. I'd recommend getting the post-2024 updated installation instructions from etrailer - they were flawless! I think etrailer knows tesla better than tesla.

It fit my 2025 Model 3 perfectly. Removing and reinstalling the bumper is the hard part.
