Towbar Bike Carrier
Towbar bike carrier:
Towbar mounting is an option with the Tesla model 3, however
if a towbar is not fitted to the vehicle from factory, then it will need to be
retrofitted by a professional (average fully fitted price £800-£1000). There
are also weight limits to carrying with a tow bar on the model 3 depending on the number of occupants and the wheel/tire size. More info at Tesla.
Once you have a towbar retrofitted (or factory fitted) you
will need a towbar bike carrier. The average price for a towbar bike carrier is approximately £380.00.
The total estimated cost for a towbar mounted bike carrier
is £1280-£1580.

Solo Bike Rack:
The main floor with the current Tesla range regarding sports carrying compatibility is the panoramic roof, which is also one of the great features of the car when its being used generally.
A vacuum mounted bike carrier such as Solo by Mount Evo works with
this feature and is fully compatible with the panoramic roof. There is no
fitting kit needed nor are any other components required for secure
fitting to the roof or rear window.
Solo can be installed in as little as 2 mins and removed in less than 30 seconds.
