Forget about waiting for the Tesla electrical getaway stalk–if you want to tow something heavy, apparently all you need is the Model X.
That is the lesson we learned when Tesla CEO Elon Musk retweeted the following GIF from the @ElektrekCo Twitter account.

Yep, that’s Tesla’s version of an SUV casually pulling a semi truck. Up a mound. In a snowstorm.
5, 000 lb towing limit, lol. Ben # ModelX # Tesla # TeslaSemi # Snow # DualMotor

According to Electrek, this passed last week in Raleigh when a worker identified Ben Spreen drew the truck up a hill so the semi could get better resistance in the icy preconditions. Much to the shock of the videographer, it altogether worked.
And apparently, it wasn’t remotely a number of problems for the Model X, which has a supposed towing ability of five, 000 pounds.
As Spreen wrote on Facebook, “No power restriction at all. That certainly wasn’t hard-handed on the car. I’ve driven it much harder without heat-soaking.”
While the display by the Model X is horribly impressive--it apparently impressed Musk, anyway--a Twitter jokester made a good point seeing Tesla’s issues with the sluggish pace in doing the financial Model 3.
Maybe Tesla can use a Model X to pull Model 3s through the production line.
