Advice with maximum weight
We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 910 kg kg with this Tesla.
In this advice we assume an average caravan with a weight of 910 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 3 with a Caravan as an example with an actual weight of 910 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 very good.

Actual Weights
- Caravan as an example: 910 kg.
- Tesla Model 3: 1912 kg.
- Noseweight: 60 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 48%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally very good on flat roads (performance score to compare 286 points).
- Speeds of 82 mph (133 km/h) to 87 mph (140 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 379 points).
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 8.8 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 361 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads (up to 30%). Not even on Hill starts.
- Estimated efficiency 539 Wh/mile (33.5 kWh/100km).
- A speed of 77 mph (124 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
- The towing range is between 56 miles (20->80% rapid charging) and 93 miles (maximum) 90 - 149 km.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Tesla is sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
- If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 48%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 53%.
- The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
- Recommended noseweight is 60 kg.
- Stability and safety score to compare is 275 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.
Distribute the User Payload by yourself in the caravan and the car and then find out the stability rating of your loading configuration.
