So the specs say it's posibble - but there's no tow kit on the option list. Anyone had any info from delaers or 3rd party suppliers on options?
On most of my cars I've always had a removable towbar fitted, both for bike rack and the 6x4x4 box trailer I use instead of knackering the car interior. I've also got a braked 2700kg trailer for business use doing events though suspended due to covid. With payload I take the A250e can still pull it, though the range will be totalled. The PAssat GTE I had before would get 25mpg when it was empty!. Luckily I'm not doing long distances regularly with that one.
Makes the 250e my favoured option now. Leasing is under £300+VAT. Bik 6%. Purchase cost only £32,000. So about £360 / year for me.
Assuming I can get hold of one.
Would love a Tesla 3, but as a Hatchback, and towing is not their best feature, pulling 750gks in a trailer to Le Mans or South coast from Brum. And if the lease rates reflected residuals I'd go for it. But £500/month for a car that loses no more than £10k over 3 years... think they have to price in risk of devlautaion even if it doesnt. ?
Not ready to purchase yet as battery tech is changing too often. I think in 3 years time they'll have over 400 miles - or cost a lot less. Or I'll get a Cybertruck
