I'm not sure if you put the bike on right.

Does the open two hitch opening collect dirt when you are driving to your destination?

Thanks for your informative video.

I got my Model Y 3 in Salt Lake 3 days after you, on 8/4. (5 seat, Gemini wheels, White Exterior, White Interior, tow hitch, no FSD). We got the mobile connector included with only the 110 plug, but people paying $200 for it now will get the NEMA 14-50 plug also.

Thanks for this. I’m ordering my Model Y Performance today or tomorrow and the tow hitch is mandatory for me for the same reason, to haul my triathlon and road bikes. Thanks.

I have order a model Y in November sill waiting. I did order tow package and 7 seats, long range. My question is did you put the cover panel back on? I was going to pull a small trailer form time to time. Also how do you like third row seats. I was hoping to put grandkids there.
Thanks,
Jim

Any idea how much impact does this rack have on battery consumption? I have found that with my current rack, the battery consumption was almost double and car failed to predict the destination battery percentage by a huge margin. I didn't enable tow mode so maybe that was the reason for poor estimation.

I was able to carry 5 bikes with Thule rack attached to my tow hitch and another one the top with roof racks. I believe Thule bike racks are the best.

Does the MY have an integrated brake controller?

Do you think having the tow hitch installed makes it safer incase of a rear end collision when you have little ones in the 3rd row?! Just wondering your thoughts.
Thanks!

Hello. My current vehicle is a massive nuisance to drive with my hitch mounted bike rack on because the rear automatic braking slams on the brakes when I go in reverse and there is no easy way to disable that without having to reset it every single time I drive. How does the Model Y deal with this? Is there an easy way to disable any rear parking sensor alerts/autobraking?

Can you order and have tow hitch install after.

I just ordered mine with the tow hitch for that specific reason only, for our bike rack, thankfully the bike rack we just purchased for our new bronco sport will work with the Tesla as well.

Can you share the dimension between the end of the receiver tube and the furthermost vertical rear body part. I need to verify the bike rack I want will clear the body when in the stowed upright position. TESLA does not share this information with the public. My MY ordered in March 2022 scheduled Oct 13 - Nov24 2022. Long Range-Red-Tow Hitch-No FSD

Thanks for posting. I wondered if they had given me the hitch. Now I am reassured and will take that panel off when needed. Cheers!

Exact same reason I ordered mine with the tow hitch was for a cargo carrier or bike rack. Good to see that it works well for that.

For $1k they could atleast include the actual ball hitch 😤 i was in my trunk looking for it, thats why im watching this video to cofirm with another Y owner that i got what i ordered 👍

What happens if by mistake you open the trunk with that there?

I always mounted the bike's top tube on top of both arms of the rack. If that 'front' strap lets go that bike is going to fall at its rear and likely swing in all sorts of directions. I also always secured the front wheel to the frame. I used a strap and quick release buckle. Why would someone intentionally let the front wheel twist side to side?
Also, that 'drop' mount, that ball can likely simply be mounted the other way, turning it into a riser mount (check the label)
Rather surprised by your video in these aspects ....

It would be wise to stick some sponge or carpet to the mast so that if you accidentally open your boot lid it will not be damaged.
