Another use for a Tesla Model X – towing a semi – update

Update 15 April 2018: Another Model X towing a semi, this time from Bjørn Nyland in Norway: “I know that this is not the first time a Model X pulls a semi. But in that other video, it was done with the help of the semi as well. And the Model X had poor all season tires not fit for snow and ice. I wanted to see if it was possible to pull a semi trailer despite having slippery surface like ice and snow.”

Recently, on these pages, we looked at an unexpected use of a Tesla Model X: speeding up an fossil car at the drag strip (check it out at https://hhg2tech.blogspot.com/2017/12/how-to-make-alpha-romeo-alfa-romeo-4c.html).

With the recent cold snap in the USA, another use has come to light: towing a semi truck after it has become stuck in the snow.



Update: Unfortunatley, videos on YouTube are removed or have availability changed from time-to-time. If the video above no longer works for you, try this:
