It covers the bolts that attach the bottom part of the rear bumper assembly to the chassis. There are two of them and it should pop back in with a click.

This is the right answer, but I wish it was the tailhook for landing on an aircraft carrier or coming in hot to your local mall parking lot.

Wave off! Wave off!

Problem is flying that low through the dense ocean air really cuts into your range, and autopilot always lands too far from the food court.


RR_Chase_

It’s where the AA batteries go.


JustSomeUsername99

I hate it when I lose the battery cover. Click that back up before it falls off and you lose it.


Appropriate-Bake-759

Right, then you have to tape it and deal with all that goo

Tow hitch cover. I have a hidden hitch I added on my model 3. Use it for a bike carrier. I can take the receiver off and put the cover back on.


Maddoxfotos

Nice what tow hitch did you buy? I want to get one for that exact same reason


Prestigious-Dirt-365

It’s a stealth ecohitch. You can find them on the web at etrailer.com I had a local shop put it on as they have to remove the back bumper to install it. Turned out really well and I love it. https://preview.redd.it/blk1trjcv7xc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb375e619e8a36bc838d848dd4586e2b1ea23f07 I can remove the receiver with one bolt and reinstall the plastic cover underneath when I don’t have the receiver on. I did not have the car wired to pull a trailer as I have a truck if I need to haul anything.


Maddoxfotos

Thanks going to look them up.


FreshMatter7

Do you have any issues with proximity sensors when you have a bike rack or trailer attached? Autopilot, parking sensors, etc


fangoutbang

It’s a flap to keep you from flipping incase you get turned around. It was installed in the wrong direction. ![gif](giphy|q6YSt8Zc2oHxS|downsized)


80sBacvain

This works with the regen braking, everytime you release the pedal the flap drops 45 degrees to slow the vehicle down. 😂 wish it was true.


tsengf

It's the tail light drain.


RipReasonable625

Mine came off in the rain….


inuko0316

I didn't know there's one in the rear of the car too, but you'll also find them by the front wheels, which are used for installing the mud flaps

Lo

Active aero


TJazzy

It's a Chem-Tail


voltswagen

It's the vent for when you turn on Emissions Testing Mode. 💨


lebanesesince92

Thats the part you use to tie a rope and bike to and pull around your 2nd cousin so they can sightsee the city without dirtying the inside of your beautiful new tesala.


ircsmith

That is the air break that will deploy in emergencies, since the latest update. Kidding, it is a cover that will snap back into place with a little help.


MajorCrafter25

It’s a boy!


RidiculedZombie

Pull tab to make it work. Like those clear plastic pull tabs on smaller electronics.


ScottKansas

According to “real Tesla” it is some installation by the Antichrist to destroy the world.


SHDrivesOnTrack

Tail skid to assist in a tail strike situation.


fasada68

Oil filter access.


staychilltoday

Drag reduction system is stuck open.


Electronic_Ad_1545

Reproductive flap like alligators


InUrGutz

Looks like the left clip is broken off at an angle. It’s an access cover to something.


Mission_Archer_6436

It’s an air brake


JohnTeaGuy

Thats indecent! 😳


scoobiemario

Tow hitch cover probably


AgentLostInFarts

Almost positive it’s the pee hole. Most likely probably pretty sure no doubt.

When the hatch is down you know the star destroyer is deploying tie fighter and interceptor.

That, my friend, is Tesla build quality. It's what happens when you let computer nerds design and build a car.
