2018 TESLA MODEL X towing capacity

Towing Capacity
The total trailer weight (including all cargo and additional equipment), and the trailer tongue
weight, must never exceed the following:TiresMaximum Towing Capacity*Maximum Tongue Weight**19"***, 20" or 22"2250 kg90 kg
*Tesla recommends a separate braking system on trailers with a loaded weight of over 450 kg. Thebraking system must be appropriate for the weight of the trailer. Follow the instructions providedby the trailer brake manufacturer to ensure that trailer brakes are properly installed, adjusted, and
maintained.
**The tongue weight is the downward force that the weight of the trailer exerts on the hitch. It must not be less than 4% of the trailer load. Carrying a
significant amount of equipment,
passengers, or cargo in the tow vehicle can reduce the tongue weight it can handle, which also
reduces the maximum towing capacity. Maximum towing capacity is calculated assuming the
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is not exceeded. The GVWR is printed on the Statutory
Plate (see Statutory Plate on page 179).
***A Model X with 19" winter tires supports towing ONLY if equipped with these
specific tires:

weight is called the vehicle capacity weight
and includes the weight of all occupants, cargo and any additional equipment added toyour Model X since it was manufactured.
One or more labels attached to the center
