Tesla Model 3 Now Available With Tow Hitch In Europe

Tesla Model 3 with €1,000+ tow hitch option can tow up to 910 kg (2,006 lbs)

Tesla introduced a new option in the European Tesla Model 3 design studio – the Tow Hitch for towing up to 910 kg (2,006 lbs).

It’s available only when placing an order for a new Model 3, and there is no option to retrofit existing Model 3 with the tow hitch at Tesla service.

“High strength steel tow bar with a removable adapter. Capable of towing up to 910 kgs.”

“Tow Hitch cannot be installed after delivery”

Even with a full load, the Model 3 and trailer will stay below 3,500 kg (7,716) for the base and most common B driving license for cars.

The price depends on the country, but in general, it’s slightly above €1,000. Here are a few examples:

Towing option for the Model 3 looks reasonable compared to other models:
