I looked over at the Tesla site, and they're talking about a 2,000-lb trailer capacity.
If we take 15% of the trailer weight as a recommendation for hitch load, then it seems reasonable that a receiver-hitch-mounted boat-tail could handle a GVR of 300- lbs.
Since it's not a 'trailer', it ought to be immune from trailer towing speed limitations.
Personally, I'd never hang that much weight behind the bumper, same as I'd never speed in Jay Leno's Tatra - 87.
Cd 0.19 in a Model 3 would be interesting.
