After Tesla launched tow hitch options in Europe for the Model Y and Model S Plaid, the automaker has once again added the option for its Model 3 sedan.

Tesla’s Model 3 is now available with a tow hitch for buyers in Europe, costing an extra €1,350 ($1,351 USD) to add-on (via @Tesla_Adri).

The tow hitch description says it’s suitable for weights up to 1,000 kg (2,204 lbs) and it comes stock with a detachable adapter.

The option is available for buyers in most of Europe, specifically including Germany, Belgium, Norway and more.

The news comes as Tesla launched the RWD Model Y in Europe this week, coming at a price even lower than some of the area’s cheapest Model 3 units.

Tesla’s Model Y also became Europe’s best-selling premium SUV this month, even topping the popular Mercedes GLC.

Exports from Tesla’s Giga Shanghai to Europe are expected to be massive in Q3, with the automaker’s Giga Berlin still ramping up production after becoming operational earlier this year. The Model Y in China recently joined Giga Berlin units in including an extra airbag in its standard build.

Fellow automaker BYD begins delivering batteries to Tesla’s Giga Berlin, and the Model Y with BYD’s batteries is said to offer 440 km (273 miles) of range.
