Watch: Tesla makes world record by towing Boeing airplane

Elon Musk’s Tesla has made a new world record after towing a massive Boeing aircraft.

Tesla’s electric Model X SUV proved its strength after earning Guinness World Record for towing a 287,000-pound Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner for almost 1,000 feet on a taxiway at the Melbourne Airport, Australia.

The company released a video in which the electric SUV can be seen towing away the massive plane that is a part of Qantas Airways’ fleet and has set a new world record for being the ‘heaviest tow by an electric production passenger vehicle’, reported CNN.

Tesla’s electric Model X goes through fatal car crash

The SUV that can normally tow around 5,500 pounds, showed a huge accomplishment by towing the 287,000 pound aircraft. The aircraft had a little amount of fuel at the particular time and wasn’t carrying any passengers or cargo.

Qantas usually uses electric aircraft tugs to pull planes for much shorter distances at two airports in Australia. Qantas Airways say that the publicity stunt was to gather attention to its sustainability efforts and to highlight its relationship with the EV automaker, according to CNET.
