Oh, I'm sorry that was my claim to defend. Although both the titles say Teslas, if you watch the video it is just about EV towing. As Tesla doesn't make anything capable of towing more than a personal water craft, I pointed out it really is going to be about why the Rivian is bad at towing. Next would be why the Bollinger is bad at towing. Then why the electric F150 is bad at towing. And finally a year after that when this thread is 150 pages long, why Teslas are bad at towing.

The video maker throws the Tesla in there because... clickbait. Putting anything good/bad Tesla in the title gets you paid on youtube. You should try it, "can a Tesla out drift a limo in reverse?" Then put big 'Tesla Fail!' Or 'Tesla explodes!', or 'Free Tesla!' In big red letters on the opening screen. 100,000 views guaranteed.
