It looks like the manual may have not been updated recently in regards to model X towing. Towing package has been standard since 2017.
Did the model X 2022 refresh keep everything the same with hitch receiver? Is it any stronger? Can it carry more vertical weight than the manual says?
Thule Access (25.5 kg) plus Thule Range (16.3 kg). I was planning on buying a real SUV that can hold weight like Yukon Xl, Suburban, or Navigator L, but decided to buy an X last night. This is holding me up. Why can't it hold a few more kg vertical limit?

Carrying Accessories
The Model X towing package has a 2" hitch receiver that can support an accessory carrier.
The hitch receiver is designed to support vertical loads of up to 120 lbs (54 kg). When carrying bicycles or other items on the Model X hitch, always check to ensure that the maximum weight is not exceeded. When calculating weight, remember to include the weight of the accessory carrier. For example, assuming the carrier weighs 40 lbs, the weight threshold is sufficient for carrying two bicycles weighing approximately 40 lbs each, or four bicycles weighing approximately 20 lbs each.
CAUTION
The Model X hitch is designed to support up to 120 lbs (54 kg). Exceeding this maximum weight can cause significant damage.
