Yes. There was a similar Citation ad, no rear wheels, published by GM. As I recall it had a small camping trailer.

Of course you would need a custom rigid hitch, to essentially make a long wheelbase single rig.

Lol, awe the memories a long long time ago I used to own a Chevy citation, every time you took a sharp turn the bottom of seat would drag on the road sparks flying everywhere, unfortunately mine wasn't equipped with the integrated boat hauling option.

Also a Toranado with a bigger travel trailer.
The ad was for the weight distributing hitch, not the car.

How the heck did he get the house stuck there? Is that a little driveway he drove out of? With the Texas road# sign? ????

Reportedly, Tesla does not handle the cold very well. Has there been an issue with that in Norway?

That "report" was one guy. After 10 years of production, one Tesla failed to charge at a blistering 19°F. The media copy/pasted the article but did not comprehend the car was saying, "waiting on the battery to warm." Apparently the battery heater was broken on this car. Its a good thing ICE vehicles never have diesel sludge in the winter, gasoline lines freeze with water, or starter batteries fail to turn the starter! Is only Teslas that ever have trouble in the cold!

blistering 19°F.

That's an oxymoron if I ever heard one. I expect my truck to start when it's -20; otherwise I'll probably die. No ifs, ands, buts or maybes. When I get done work at the end of a cold day that truck needs to start.

Still, the rest of your post is accurate.

Of course you "expect it to" but if it is broken it won't. If your truck is broken then does that prove all ICE trucks are defective and unsuitable in the cold?

My 2013 Tesla Model S 85 about the same day as the viral media report. Might notice the red "battery heat" icon indicating the battery heater was in use during charging. "Inside" is the car's passenger compartment. It would seem heating the battery (which occupies the entire floorboard) warms the inside of the car.
