  • Learn how a tow/trailer hitch is operated on a Tesla Model Y. The video shows how to mount it and how to remove it again. In 2 min I show you the tricks that took me at least an hour to learn.

    Super useful - couldn’t work out how to fit this until I saw the video. Thanks!

    I don't mind being manual tow hitch, it's a very nice and high quality tow hitch ... BUT removing this trim cover is PITA because it is clearly not made to be easy removable ... and every time you will remove it or install it back YOU WILL make some new scratches to the bumper ... Tesla engineers really didn't figure this out properly ...

    Nice video but I am appalled at how Tesla handles this. I picked up my Model Y "with hitch". No explanation, no installation guide, and nothing in the manual. I had to ask Tesla and all they did was refer to this video. Also, the way this is working is kind of pathetic. If you want to leave the hitch on you are left with a big opening with all the holes and hooks in plain view. No consideration for looks. No possibility to take off the hitch without placing the cover back and next time you have to pry it open again. I wonder what that will do to the cover long term. Disappointing.

      That is my main concern also, that plastic trim piece does not look to be a "Take off, put on" item.
      This video also seems to nonchalantly brush past the fact that the "removal tool" (Tyre iron) atleast here, was not supplied.
      From what i have seen in other videos, it seems you need to source and buy those yourself, which seems poor, i mean, those 2 pieces of plastic would not have cost Tesla many cents to buy for a car that is still relatively expensive.

      I think they have different (of course :) ) in the US. I'd say I like the European version more !
      Example: ua-cam.com/video/yF5CX9D7ulc/v-deo.html
      Your solution for removing the backcover was elegant !

    Hi! Great video! Thank you so much! Can you please explain how did you get the key out because I cannot figure out even after a lot of trying.

    • @karstenstenderup8845
      @karstenstenderup8845  2 роки тому +1

      I know - this is a tricky one. Let me try to explain in words: Right hand turns the black open/close forward while the left hand presses the blank ball to simulate that the hitch was mounted on the car. Now letting the black open/close handle go lets the hitch think is mounted and the key can be removed. Hope it works :-)

    My tesla did not come with the hitch ball extension that is shown in the video. I paid extra for the hitch install and when I asked for it they said it only comes with the hitch receiver and I have to buy the extension separately. Where can I buy it from ?
