We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 0 kg kg with this Tesla.
In this advice we assume an average caravan with a weight of 0 kg. Remember that the exact performance depends on the chosen caravan and that air resistance and dimensions have an influence.

The towing limit is unknown to us. Please check the towing limit!
The Tesla Model 3 Performance with a Caravan as an example with an actual weight of 0 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.

Tesla Model 3 Performance: 2131 kg.
Noseweight: 50 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 0%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally very good on flat roads (performance score to compare 351 points).
Speeds of 109 mph (175 km/h) to 109 mph (176 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 1781 points).
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 4.2 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 464 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads (up to 30%). Not even on Hill starts.
Estimated efficiency 143 Wh/mile (8.9 kWh/100km).
A speed of 101 mph (163 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
The towing range is between 344 miles (20->80% rapid charging) and 573 miles (maximum) 553 - 921 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, you will need a B+E (or B96) driving license.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 0%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 0%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 50 kg.
Stability and safety score to compare is 360 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.
