Tesla Model 3 Tows Nissan Patrol SUV in Dubai Sands

Watch how Tesla Model 3 pulls a Nissan Patrol SUV in the sands of Dubai. A video shared by Torque News Twitter friend TeslaOwnersSiliconValley shows the Model 3s impressive towing capabilities despite its small size.
What is even more impressive is the towing capacity of the Model 3 is far lower than the weight of the Nissan Patrol which is one of the Japanese automakers heaviest vehicles weighing in at over 3300 pounds or 1500 kilograms. Look how nice Tesla Model 3 looks in the snow. Also see how easily the Model 3 dislodges the SUV.
The cause of the easily-dislodged Nissan could be the Tesla Model 3s torque vectoring capabilities which allows a differential to transfer engine torque to each of the vehicles wheels.
It is not a fixed system as the vectoring capabilities allow the motor to determine which wheels the energy needs to be transferred to.
This allows for a more controlled and efficient use of energy whereas a wheel that is off the ground in uneven terrain will not spin due to the fact that it wont assist in moving through sand or dirt concludes Joey Klender in Teslarati. Then he goes on explaining the Torque Vectoring of Model 3 which is called Vehicle Dynamics Controller and says The age-old theory that electric cars cannot handle towing or power through tough terrains has been debunked many times.
However for those who still are skeptical the video above is simply another example of an all-electric powertrain doing its fair share of proving the doubters wrong. Tesla Model3Towing This is Armen Hareyan from Torque News.
