The first known Tesla Model S Plaid with a tow hitch has gained its Certificate of Conformity (CoC) and registration papers in Europe, as spotted by @Tesla_Adri in the German forum TFF.
One user in the forum shared pages one and two of the CoC, including specifications like the Model S Plaid’s length, wheelbase and door configuration.
The CoC papers also show that the Model S Plaid is rated for up to 300 kilometers per hour (~186mph), and it’s set to come standard with the tow hitch.
The bottom of the document says the Model S Plaid in Europe can go up to 322 km/h (200 mph) with Tesla’s optional Carbon Ceramic Brake Kit, which costs an extra $20,000 USD and is coming this fall.
The tow hitch is rated with a 100-kilogram vertical mass for up to 1,600kg of trailer weight.
