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:
The energy consumption increase when towing highly depends on the trailer (its size, aerodynamics and weight) and in general, can more than double consumption, which means a significant range decrease.
