It’s not entirely clear whether the new Qantas video is an advertisement for Tesla or a clip promoting the fact you can charge Elon Musk’s electric vehicles at the airline's valet facilities at select airports. Or maybe it's another one of those innovations by boffins to help people sleep on the Perth-London route. But for those dying to know whether a Tesla Model X P100D can tow a Qantas 787-9 Dreamliner the answer is in. Yes, it can. The relief from Tesla drivers everywhere will no doubt be palpable as they realize the powerful dual electric motors in their prize possession will be able to tow any Qantas Dreamliner they find stranded on their local highway almost 300 metres. READ: Qantas 787 smashing speed records. It doesn't come as a complete shock to discover this is a world first. It's also apparently a  successful Guinness World Record attempt at the heaviest tow by an electric production passenger vehicle.

We're cheerfully reminded that this isn't the first time Tesla and Qantas have gone head-to-head: there was also a more exciting video of a race at Victoria’s Avalon Airport between a Boeing 737 and a Tesla Model S P90D. Both are videos designed to underscore the message that Qantas has environmental street cred, or is at least working at getting some. “With more than 10,000 pieces of Qantas ground services equipment like catering trucks, aircraft loaders and other vehicles all running on diesel, even just a small shift to electric power will have an enormous impact in the move to a sustainable future,’’ the airline says. “That’s why we’re continuing to collaborate with our friends at Tesla, driving innovation for our customers and increasing sustainability in the transport industry.”
