We have a Model Y with factory installed tow package. I know the recommended limits. Has anyone towed slightly over the 3500 weight limit? If so by how much and with what results?

In my Y LR I have towed a boat that's 3000 lbs at speeds up to 45mph for up to 15 miles (to the gas station, lol!). No way would I ever go faster than that. It floats all over the place. (tongue load is correct!).We have a Model Y with factory installed tow package. I know the recommended limits. Has anyone towed slightly over the 3500 weight limit?

Looking for helpGuys
about to do my first tow in the MYP with the Tesla hitch receiver, one or two axel uhaul box trailer, 650 miles
my prep equipment list (towing and tire repair kit, not my full road trip list):
7 pin trailer connector, 2" receiver/2" ball hitch bar, 30" flat top scissor jack and crank bar/4" compacted, flat ground plank for under the jack, jack pucks, 1/2 ratchet, 21mm non marring socket, snip nose pliers, tesla tire repair kit, tarp for ground, gloves, screw driver, screw plugs, tradition repair plug kit, 3x ground reflectors, head lamp, lock for back of the trailer
trailer hooked up check list: cross chains under the tow bar, test brake lights, check trailer tire pressure
logistics prep: expect energy consumption at approx 450-550 wh/mile, stay 65 mph and below for best results, use and plan with ABRP, look for trailer friendly tesla supercharging stops
know I can do Tesla roadside service if I get a flat, but just being prepared
know the Modern spare is a great option, but seeing if I can avoid the $500 purchase and inside space impact
please critique my lists, add/subtract, comment
appreciate all the help
Looks like a solid plan.Looking for help
Thanks for the responseLooks like a solid plan.
PS, really hard to read the lists, bullet points and paragraph breaks would help.
Have you taken a test drive fully loaded, to check consumption?
