I'm looking to get a hitch mounted rack to fit my 2 Aventon E-Bikes. Best solution so far seems to be the Radgnarack - really heavy duty, etc. My concern is supercharging (since I would mostly be using this on longer trips to take the bikes along). Based upon what I have found, alot of the time, V3 "back in" stalls can work, just need to take your time backing in to get the alignment correct. V4 back in stalls are easier as the cables are longer to accommodate other non Tesla vehicles. Obviously, pull through stalls would be ideal, but there aren't alot of them as far as I have seen. Any real world examples from others you can share? Worst case is removing one of the bikes to charge - not ideal, but doable as the rack allows easy unloading.

Thanks!!

Yes, it's a huge pain in the rear, as I've hauled my e-moto thousands of miles. Tesla absolutely has not done enough work in this area. You will most definitely be knocking on windows to ask someone how much longer they have to charge so that you can use the pull through stall (if available).

Do yourself a huge favor and pre-plan all your long distance traveling by using Google maps street view to see if the particular sites you plan to stop have pull through. Otherwise, try to pick the end stall and back in at an angle.

It's exceedingly aggregating. Also might as well attach a brake light and enter tow mode, because your FSD isn't going to activate either.
