Using a Bicycle Carrier
Supported Bicycle Carriers
Warning: Do not use the trailer hitch to
tow/transport Model X.
To support the installation of a carrier (such as
a bicycle rack) on the rear of Model X, the
optional towing package is required. Do not
attempt to install a carrier on a Model X that is
not equipped with the towing package. Doing
so can cause damage.
Warning: Use only the electrical
connection designed by Tesla. Do not
attempt to directly splice or attempt to
connect a bicycle carrier's electrical
wiring using any other method. Doing so
can damage the Model X electrical
system and cause malfunctions.
Model X is designed to support a bicycle
carrier of up to 120 lbs (55 kg). When carry
bicycles on Model X, always check to ensure
that the maximum weight is not exceeded. For

approximately 20 lbs (9 kg) each, assuming
the carrier weighs approximately 33 lbs (15

to attach a 1.25“ hitch accessory only. Do
not use the accessory hitch for trailer

Installing a Bicycle Carrier
1.
Carefully follow the instructions provided
by the manufacturer of the bicycle carrier.
2.
Connect the electrical connector (if
equipped). When Model X detects the
electrical connector, the touchscreen may
prompt you to enter Trailer Mode. To
ensure availability of Autopilot features, it
is recommended that you do not activate
Trailer Mode.
3.
Check that the lights are functioning
properly (if equipped).
Note: Bicycle carriers or other accessories
mounted on the rear trunk are likely to
obscure the rear view camera’sfield of view. In
addition, driver assistance functions that
involve the use of the rear ultrasonic sensors
may not function as expected.
Impact on Range
Using a bicycle carrier increases total vehicle
weight and drag. As a result, driving range will
decreasesignificantly and range estimates will
no longer be accurate. Plan trip length and
charging stops accordingly.
