They're massiveJeez those are some big boy bikes haha
The exact same setup i'll have (Stealth Rack and Hollywood Racks Sport Rider. My eBikes won't be as heavy as yours though. Thanks for posting!Late to this thread, but hopefully this is helpful. We have 2 e-bikes that each weigh 73lbs, this makes it very difficult to find a bike rack that would accommodate such heavy bikes. I just installed a stealth hitch and bought a Hollywood Sport Rider rack, it is a 2-bike rack that supports 80lbs per bike.
Hollywood Racks Sport Rider
Highly recommend this setup, extremely sturdy and easy to use. I need to remember to get a picture with the bikes on it though.

Do you have a pic of a Model 3 using a vertical rack with the bikes loaded? Could you use the 4 bike version on the Model 3Vertical rack. I’ve had a north shore for 8 yeras. Best bike rack I’ve owned in ~40 years of avid riding.
I lost my eco hitch a little over 2 years ago when I got hit by a rockslide and haven’t replaced it as they greatly expanded the trail network that starts from my house. Now I only really use the north shore on the back of my camper. 4 bikes + the rack is <160 lbs.Do you have a pic of a Model 3 using a vertical rack with the bikes loaded?

Whoa, so the vertical rack with 4 bikes worked fine on your Model 3? Would you recommend that setup?I lost my eco hitch a little over 2 years ago when I got hit by a rockslide and haven’t replaced it as they greatly expanded the trail network that starts from my house.

On the model 3 running ~60mph with 4 bikes loaded it decreased range by ~20%
Look at 1Up bike racks. If your tires are over 3", there is an extension available from 1Up for additional tire width. Taking 2 bikes is going to cut down your mileage a bit!I have a 2021 Model 3 LR and this October, the wife and I are going to drive from Georgia to Florida and I would like to take our new ebikes with us. The problem I'm encountering so far is that the bike racks I see for the M3 are either ones that hang off the trunk, to which all I can think is "My paint! D:" and then the tow hitch option doesnt seem to work because one ebike weighs 53 pounds and the other weighs 80 pounds. From what I understand, using a tow hitch bike rack can only support like 100ish pounds.
Does anyone know of any options for something like an affordable pull behind specialty bike trailer or any suggestions of that sort?
Like I said earlier. I’ve been an avid cyclist for a long time. I started out in my teens road racing stage and criterium. In the mid 1990’s switched almost exclusively to MTB. Raced everything from XC to DH, now my teens and I all race enduro. We put in ~1k miles June through September all on dirt: mostly single track, XC, long multi day back country, bike packing,… even caribou hunt off bikes.Whoa, so the vertical rack with 4 bikes worked fine on your Model 3?

The Stealth Hitch web site claims a 300# tongue load limit for the 1 1/4" receiver, 350# for the 2" receiver:From what I understand, using a tow hitch bike rack can only support like 100ish pounds.
I honestly don't care what they rate the hitch for. If you have ANY issues at all, Tesla isn't going to warranty it. Highly unlikely Stealth Hitches will cover anything other than issues with their issue. The issue lies where there is no damage to the hitch itself but it screws something up on the car. I'd look and see what Tesla rates a hitch for in another country for the 3.
Here is a quote and the direct reference.
Carrying Capacity- Accessories
The towing package allows you to tow a trailer or carry an accessory (bicycles, skis, snowboards, etc.) with your Model 3.
The tow package includes a weight-carrying hitch with a 50 mm ball coupling that can support an accessory carrier. When carrying accessories, the ball coupling is designed to support vertical loads of up to 55 kg. When carrying bicycles or other items on the Model 3 hitch, always check to ensure that the maximum weight is not exceeded. Maximum weight capacity for the tow hitch depends on the number of occupants in the vehicle:
