    Just need a 3 day weekend every weekend now to enjoy towing the camper trailer out west & enjoying drinking copious amounts of coffee recharging along the way in order to actually get outback.

    With a 910kg trailer on the back no room for more batteries & the aero advantage is now all but gone

    And all this for only a $1,800 upgrade for a tow bar

    Tesla has finally delivered on its promise that the Model 3 electric sedan would eventually be rated for towing: the European configurator for the Tesla Model 3 has now added a towbar option. (Or as Tesla call it: a ‘tow hitch’.

    For English purchasers it adds another £970 (AU$1800) to the cost of the car.Source: Tesla

    It also answers the question put by our esteemed Prime Minister as to whether “EVs will ruin the Australian weekend” by preventing the average Australian going on longer trips out of town along with the camping, biking or other gear that usually accompanies them.

    Even with the biggest battery, range is 556k's (BEFORE putting the van on the back).

    I couldn't even get out to Porcupine Gorge for the weekend if I lived in Townsville, let alone spend the weekend & then Lord help me, get back in time for work....At least the Army would have known I was AWOL & tracked me down to save me......you can't hide from those buggers... ..LOL
