Tesla Model X 100D Performance Caravan as an example
Advice with maximum weight
We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 2018 kg kg with this Tesla.
In this advice we assume an average caravan with a weight of 1250 kg. Remember that the exact performance depends on the chosen caravan and that air resistance and dimensions have an influence.
Performance
Weight
The Tesla Model X 100D Performance with a Caravan as an example with an actual weight of 1250 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Tesla is in general very good. And also the weight of the Caravan with a User Payload (-568 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Tesla Model X 100D Performance Caravan as an example
Actual Weights
Caravan as an example: 1250 kg.
Tesla Model X 100D Performance: 2740 kg.
Noseweight: 70 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 46%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally very good on flat roads (performance score to compare 329 points).
Speeds of 98 mph (158 km/h) to 100 mph (161 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 685 points).
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 4.9 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 430 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads (up to 30%). Not even on Hill starts.
A speed of 92 mph (149 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
The towing range is between 100 miles (20->80% rapid charging) and 166 miles (maximum) 161 - 268 km.
Weight
The towing limit of the Tesla is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E driving license.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 46%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 49%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 70 kg.
Stability and safety score to compare is 278 points.
If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.
Conclusion
Performance is very good.
Safe driving is possible.
It's a perfect match!
Influence of User Payload on stability
Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.
