Elon Musk posted a video on Twitter of a Tesla Model X pulling what he says is a 250,000-pound (113,398-kilo) load.

The tweet was in response to a question about the limit a Tesla can drag.

Musk had just shared post by the electric vehicle site Electrik.co showing a Tesla pulling 95,000 pounds (43,091 kilos).

He had also recently shared a story from the aficionado site Teslarati showing a Tesla Model X beating out a Chevy Camaro in a tug-of-war challenge. In this sort of challenge, the two vehicles tie themselves to each other back to back and both accelerate, trying to overcome the other car with force.

To be clear, none of these stunts are recommended.
