Electric Car Tows a 787 Dreamliner Plane
Tesla towing a Boeing
As part of a publicity stunt today, a Tesla Model X took to a taxiway at Melbourne Airport and towed a Qantas Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner plane. In doing so, it broke the Guinness World Record for the most weight towed by a wholly electric powered commercial vehicle.
The pictures are great and were done as a promotion of Qantas Frequent Flyer points and their partnership with Tesla. Qantas will provide various charging points for Tesla electric vehicles at airports around the country. It also enabled Qantas to show off one of their fancy new Boeing 787-9 aircraft. They have just ordered a bunch more of these planes to replace their ageing 747 fleet which they will phase out by 2020.

Tesla will be dominate very soon in the world as a outstanding performance. In addition, as a electric car it will be speed-out all over the world due to less pollution and less energy consume car as well they are using solar power as a foul. Our environment will be free of pollution and our next generation will be more healthy. Tesla showing power by towing a Boeing pane.
This is amazing, Elon Musk and his Tesla have been working really hard for a better future.
Its too much intresting.
Electric cars have incredible torque. Therefore, they have low 0-60 time with daily driving gear ratios and as pictured amazing towing.

Wowww!!! Such shots/clips amaze me to the core! The Mighty being towed away with the might of a super Electric vehicle. The World is really changing for the good...though very gradually. Environmental degradation has to be the Top most priority to be addressed with viable/alternative solutions.
