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.
Yeah, the tow hitch is very handy for that purpose!
Enjoy your beautiful new car!
Thanks!
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!
Yeah it's hidden pretty well. Thanks for watching!
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.
Nice! How you liking it so far?
So far no problems. Having to turn off the autopilot every time I change lanes is already bugging me.
Tesla gave $200 discount code. I used it in the Tesla shop, and got the connector kit for free. It has both connectors (mobile and NEMA 14-50).
i love your #tesla channel
Thanks for the support!!
Thanks
😀
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.
Very cool!
intense
Yes
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.
Yes they are nice!
Does Thule bike rack fit into Tesla hitch? Is it 2" receiver?
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 👍
Yeah you just get the receiver
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.
Yes, it'll be nice to take the bike along!
Does the open two hitch opening collect dirt when you are driving to your destination?
Thanks for your informative video.
The plastic cover seems to keep out most of the dirt
Can i please ask you to make an update video on the huffy scout, I just ordered one was hoping u do a year in review as it seems u bought it a year ago
I'll try to make one, 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
Yeah I put the panel back on when not using the tow hitch, the 3rd row seats are a very tight fit, only small kids can fit back there, but they are nice to have
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.
Yes, good tip
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!
I wouldn't think so, the tow hitch is below the rear bumper, so I'd doubt it provides any additional protection
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.
It makes a difference, it creates additional drag, I haven't used it on long road trips so I can comment, but using tow haul mode probably will help.
yea bad prediction of range is a big issue when on road trips it seems to me. I've heard 25% reduction in range if you keep it at 70mph. faster than that and it will be worse. Not to mention the backing a supercharger with bikes on the back.
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 ....
Good info, thanks
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
I'll see if I can measure that
i'm wondering the same thing. I have a 1up rack that has enough clearance on my mini van and Volvo.
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?
Yes, put it in tow/haul mode and it takes care of that
@@Myksgarage I have heard this disables Autopilot. Is that true? Not being able to use autopilot for 1/2 the year would be pretty brutal
I'm not sure if you put the bike on right.
Oh, what was wrong?
Does the MY have an integrated brake controller?
Good question, I don't believe so
Tesla says there’s a 160lb weight limit for cantilevered mounts. That’s total for both the rack and the bikes.
That seems low?
You mean 60lbs
This is true that is the tonque weight limit...very easy to exceed with a big rack and lot of bikes. And remember that is a static weight limit. Dynamic loads are much higher when hitting bumps. The Y is not a truck people.
Can you order and have tow hitch install after.
It looks like it: shop.tesla.com/product/model-y-tow-package?web=true
Can you please share the checklist?
Here is the delivery checklist i used
www.macheforum.com/site/attachments/tesla-model-y-delivery-check-list_final-copy-pdf.3256/
What happens if by mistake you open the trunk with that there?
The trunk won't open
2 inch receiver right?
Yes that's right.
You had one simple job, to show if the trunk can be opened
Did you see it?
@4:00 bud
But unfortunately a lock hitch will not fit
Yeah I know
wow, that's a very different solution you get over there. Ours looks like this:
