Tesla Model X Spotted while Towing a Dump Trailer, Testing 10000 lbs Towing ... - autoevolution
Last time we heard about the Model X was after the model had been spotted at a Supercharger site, with a panoramic windshield looking like a philosopher's forehead. It looks like Elon Musk thought it was high time engineers tested the towing capacity announced by Jim Chen, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs for Tesla, during the Georgia Technology Summit. We're talking about a theoretical towing capacity close to 10,000 pounds, or 4,535 kg. Just to put things into perspective, consider this: the Ram 1500 Express has a maximum towing capacity of 10,500 lbs (4,762 kg), so yeah, the Model X will also... Also, if we consider the trailer weighs around 1,500 lbs (680 kg), you'd still have 7,500 pounds (3,402 kg) worth of speedboat, motorcycles or whatnot to pull from A to B. The pictures you'll see attached to this article come from Teslarati and... Powertrain of the Model X. Recently, rumors gained momentum and the most mentioned configuration for the Model X - although there's no official info on that - relates to dual motor power, all-wheel drive and 90 kWh of battery capacity.
