Lithium Ion is pretty much maxed out on what it can deliver, and rechargeable Lithium metal batteries have the obstacles that they've been trying to overcome for over a decade and still nothing. We may get surprised, but it's better to keep improving the things we know will work, such as adding charging infra with pull through stalls for vehicles with trailers. Tesla started building those, and their navigation software now specifically shows them when towing.

There are plenty of reports of people towing loads in excess of 11k. Not that the specs should be exceeded like that.
Some excavators, skid steers, dump trailers with rock in this thread:
Price, accessory availability, price, way bigger frunk, price
This kind of goes back to the old saying, just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
For kicks, I looked up the payload capacity of a couple of Toyotas. The payload capacity might surprise you.

Just because I can load more into a minivan doesn't mean I am going to get one to haul stuff home from Home Depot.
