Tesla Model Y Trailer Hitch Cover Removal Without Special Tools

In this video, I show you how to remove the Tow Hitch Cover on a Tesla Model Y without any special tools.
I explain what the manual suggests and why I wouldn't take that route and show you how I do it with bike tire levers.
This was recorded on a Tesla Model Y from 2023.

I've had my Model Y for 8 months before finally needing to tow something. This worked out perfectly. I used a flat head screwdriver and was careful not to scratch anything. I had zero problems with it. Thanks so much!

[@bartwendell516]

Thanks so much. And a use for all of the tire ‘irons’.

[@rtimmins7212]

Thank you for this tip, worked like a charm

[@Homeneer]

Great to hear that 🤗

Just got the tow hitch installed in my Model Y. What a total pain in the ass. It shouldn’t be this difficult to access the tow hitch. The service guy said, use the screen inside your car to open. 😮

Super helpful, thank you very much! Though I guess I would have called this video "How to remove the hitch cover by using a special tool (viz., a bike tire lever)".

Great tip!

It looks like the paint was scratched on the bottom when putting the cover back on. They should have a cover that has holes for the hitch and cable connector.

Where can I buy this hitch. Cannot find it on the tesla website. My model y has the hitch receiver

Why would Tesla allow something so poorly designed on an expensive car like this??? Even the dealer-provided Teslia instructions page for its removal is poor. The video was very helpful.

What a flimsy solution for what is not exactly a cheap car (in absolute terms).
