Tesla continues to revolutionize in new ways. This time the automaker broke a Guinness World Record when their X crossover SUV towed a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner for nearly 1,000 feet. That's the record for the heaviest tow by a production passenger electric vehicle.

Taking place in Melbourne, Australia, the vehicle towed a Qantas brand passenger jet. This particular jet weighs a hard 286,600 pounds, which is equal to about 20 T-Rex. This is far higher than the Model X's tow rating of 5,112 pounds (about 1/3rd of a T-rex).



Before Tesla, Porsche set their own record when a Cayenne Diesel managed to pull an Airbus A380 for 137 feet. The Cayenne pulled nearly 630,000 pounds (45 T-rex) to the Tesla's 286,600 pounds. The two records are different, as the Model X claimed the title for passenger electric cars.

The record-breaking Model X had the P100D variant package, giving it 603 horsepower and 713 pound-feet of torque. The "Performance 100 Dual-motor" package proved to be a vital upgrade.

This isnt the first time that Tesla and Qantas have worked together. In 2016, the two companies had a drag race between the Tesla Model S and a Boeing 737. The event was intended to be a celebration of innovation and sustainability with Tesla. You can find that video below.
