Bike rack installed and need a supercharger? No problem w/ Thule EasyFold XT 2-bike hitch rack

[EWELON]

the bikes should fit between superchargers allowing you to get close enough to a non-pull in spot with no problem. I could have moved even closer but at this charger (on the Atlantic City Expressway) the cord was long enough.

What brand of bike rack? Do you recommend? I’m trying to find a good one

this is a:

https://www.thule.com/en-us/bike-rack/hitch-bike-racks/thule-easyfold-xt-2-_-903202

and why I would recommend it is:
-allows the tailgate to open completely flat with bikes on the rack and tilted out. this ended up being my most important criterion for selecting, but this is hard to verify without a lot of back and forth with manufacturers or trying it out yourself (I didnt go with quickrstep mach 2 because I couldnt get a confirmation from them)
-because it folds up, it stores small, not small enough for the frunk, but small. (I think that the mach 2 would fit in the frunk)
-install/adjustment is tool free
-it has wheels on it that makes moving it easy.
-security is straightforward with one key. if youre already in the thule ecosystem then you could get one key for all your racks.
-it comes with a ramp included! this is a pricey add on for many racks that are already very expensive.
-off the truck and deployed, you could use it as a makeshift bikestand

some possible cons:
-it has some plastic parts
-lower weight limit if you are thinking about getting a big e-bike (it can hold lighter e-bikes)

FSD does work with this installed.

if you dont buy this rack, and the one that you end up choosing allows for full or 12 degree tailgate operation, can you list that rack here:

I wanted to create a running list for people. Being able to do this with out the need for a swing arm or a hitch extender or lowerer allows you to use the full weight limit of the rack.
