Hi Folks, I know etrailers.com sells hitches for *anything* but a lawyer told me if you get in an accident while towing and the manual says *no towing* (like the Tesla Model 3 does), the judge will throw the book at you. That's why I picked the Tesla Model Y that's *rated* for 3500 pounds towing and put the etrailer.com hitch on. Also had to dig into the low-current tiny #22 wiring to tap off and change the 1157 bulbs on the trailer to LED lights.
I do have a Bolt with a hitch on it (also says no towing) but have for light 5x8 trailer emergencies (not the boat). But it is a risk. I still don't understand why the Tesla-3 says no towing and the Y does with the *same* drive train.

FYI: I have a 2018 Model 3 and I tow all the time with no issues. Several companies make a bolt-on hitch. *** _______________________________________________ Address messages to ev@lists.evdl.org No other addresses in TO and CC fields HELP: http://www.evdl.org/help/
