At least in the US car manufacturers have convinced people you have to buy a large pickup to tow anything, even though at this point they've made subcompacts large and powerful enough to tow a pretty decently sized trailer. My 2014 Hyundai Accent has no problem towing a 5x8 trailer.

...and actually the 4' x 7' trailer I rented ended up being a little snug, probably should have done the 5' x 8' I've previously used. Good that I wasn't trying to use a full size crew cab pickup though, would have been too small!

I just yesterday had a bunch of empty crates and other stuff to dispose of, nothing a subcompact can't handle!

This ad I got from cars and bids made me laugh. Nailed it on sanding those panels "completely flat."

Weird, I didn't see him among the hundred or so people protesting at the Tesla store a few minutes from there this last Saturday.
Also interesting they don't mention when he actually bought the car. I'm not enough of a Tesla expert to tell what it is from the little shot they give us.
