We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 2008 kg kg with this Tesla.
In this advice we assume an average caravan with a weight of 2008 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 75D with a Caravan as an example with an actual weight of 2008 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 normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is pretty good.

Performance
The engine's performance is generally very good on flat roads (performance score to compare 301 points).
Speeds of 87 mph (141 km/h) to 91 mph (147 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 419 points).
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 10.8 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 353 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads (up to 25%). Not even on Hill starts.
A speed of 79 mph (127 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
The towing range is between 73 miles (20->80% rapid charging) and 121 miles (maximum) 117 - 195 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 75%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 81%.
There is a small chance of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are great at high speed. For drivers with knowledge of, and experience in driving a caravan it is safe to drive, but proper and careful loading is still important! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is worth considering.
Recommended noseweight is 100 - 125 kg.
Towball limit is 100 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
Stability and safety score to compare is 163 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.
If the caravan is well loaded 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.
