Q: How much lighter is this hitch than the Tesla factory unit?

It saves 10% versus the 2021+ Tesla hitch and 50% versus the pre-2021 Tesla hitch, using weight-optimized rugged steel construction. Since the point of a Tesla is performance, carrying less mass in the tail matters, and this kit lets you pull heavy while keeping weight down at the back, in the same spirit as our S-APEX complete build program. It still uses a standard hitch receiver, so your existing trailer and rack accessories attach normally.
