Tesla Model Y Towbar.

The Tesla Model Y towbar load ratings are similar to those of a mid-size petrol-powered SUV. The unbraked towing capacity of 750 kg is equal to the most Australian SUVs and 4x4s.
However, the braked towing capacity jumps to 1600 kg which is handy, but not as much as most mid-size 4x4s. But it still makes the Tesla Model Y cable of towing sizable single axel trailers. This includes a double jet ski or double dirt bike trailer. It even extends to caravans and camper trailers.
It allows you to use your Tesla Model Y to hitch up a medium size box trailer. That makes it handy for moving house or doing tip runs. With a maximum ball weight of 160kg it should suit the majority of towbar bike racks and hitch bike racks. Bars N Racks can provide a comprehensive range of these from Thule or Yakima.

Tesla Model 3 Towbar.

To tow with your Model 3, choose a Hayman Reese Class 4 Towbar. They suit the Tesla Model 3 CL4 released in May 2019. The tow bar uses a 50 x 50 mm square hitch.
Here's a list of what you'll be able to tow with your Tesla Model 3: et Ski and trailer at around 600 kg.
2 Dirt Bikes on a trailer at around 400 kg. A 6 x 4 box trailer 260 kg plus whatever you want to put in it up to the unbraked total weight of 750 kg. A vertical hanging Yakima mountain bike rack is 29.5 kg with four 17 kg mountain bikes is 97.5 kgs. Just under the maximum 100 kg ball weight.
