Electrical Connections
Regulations require all trailers to be equipped
with tail lights, brake lights, side marker lights,
and turn signals. To provide power for trailer
lighting, a built-in seven-way universal wiring
connector (SAE J560) is attached to Model
X's tow bar, near the trailer hitch. Most trailer
wiring plugs can be attached to this
connector.

Trailer Sway Mitigation
When trailer sway is detected, Model X’s
electronic stability control system attempts to
apply the appropriate amount of braking to
minimize trailer sway. The instrument panel

Impact on Range
Towing increases Model X's weight and drag.
As a result, driving range decreases
significantly and range estimates are no longer

destinations accordingly.
