So I guess Jim Chen the Tesla VP just decided to make some unrealistic and impossible claims on towing capacity without any data or testing to back his statements in the presentation? He made those statements without any background knowledge from dealing with Elon or the Tesla engineers about a...

chatting executive? Look more like Jim Chen was doing a presentation on Tesla the company and its products on a stage instead of a simple chat.

Tesla prides itself on make "a better car" a 5000 lb towing capacity is just average. many SUVs of the same size and weight tow almost 8000 lbs i.e. vw touareg Tesla VP Jim Chen confidently stated the towing capacity to be over 5000lbs and up to 10000lbs

The swivel seat arrangement of the Mercedes V class is exactly what i was hoping for in the Model x - - - Updated - - - is there any public information on the cancellation rates?

I just cancelled too. I just cancelled for similar reasons in order of priority: 1. Towing capacity was not as promised by VP Jim Chen 2. second row seats do not fold 3. Financial markets and what lies ahead in the near future? 4. The low Canadian dollar I hope Tesla is monitoring this...

take a look at the website

I am betting the 5000lbs is a soft limit in order not to kill the mileage ratings.

minimal towing capacity for a vehicle in its size and weight category second row seats don't fold. good news is I don't feel that impulsive urge to leverage myself and buy this vehicle anymore. Financial instability in the markets The high US dollar (I am in canada) low tow capacity minimal...

When Jim Chen made the statement about towing capacity of the Model X he did so with an air of certainty. I cannot see him making a speculative statement about the towing capacity of Tesla's long awaited flagship SUV. That would really not bode well for the company. I suspect the actual specs...

Well, when the Telsa model S went from one motor (2 wheel drive) to two motor (all wheel drive) it became more efficient with better range ........:rolleyes::tongue:

In my case I want one very nice SUV that can tow a travel trailer. Travel around . Park the trailer somewhere and then I have the ultimate car to drive around. Also I will be able to move all kinds of stuff towing a utility trailer. Be nice to Tow a travel trailer and not worry about MPG

IF the model X tows up to 10,000 lbs it , then it can tow a decent size travel trailer and also haul stuff around using a utility trailer. Add in the 7 passenger seating, performance and space; it becomes a winner for me!

So if the Model X has a weight distributing hitch installed then the 10,000 lb rating would apply. thanks
