They have not yet released the towing capacity of the Tesla Model 3, although I am sure it will be able to handle my none braked 750kg trailer, but maybe not loaded to it's max!

I am sure it can handle your trailer..............For 20 miles!
Check out YouTube "Bjorn Nyland Model X Trailer" I think you will find even the std Tesla Model 3 will be good for around 150 miles on a full charge, towing a trailer like mine.
OK 150 miles is less than half what my VW Golf will do on a full tank of diesel, but I don't see the EV range as restrictive.
Driving 150 miles is going to take at least 2 hours, which would be around the time to take a break at the services, fast charge up and carry on.
Of course I have to add, that after doing 80k miles of towing the battery on the Model X seems to have died, although no one knows if this was caused by towing.
You can tow with the latest prius (camping trailer or very small van), but not the Prius PHEV. The optima PHEV can tow, but not the NIro. golf GTE can also tow. Good to see more hybrid tow cars that are not SUVs
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
