Questions people ask
How much can a Tesla Model 3 tow?
Tesla publishes no towing rating for it: "Do not use Model 3 for towing purposes. Model 3 does not currently support towing."
Can I add a hitch to the Model 3?
A hitch doesn't create a rating. Without one from Tesla, there is no trailer weight the Model 3 is rated to pull — check your owner's manual before fitting one.
