Just for general information, the widely agreed number for tongue weight is 10%-15% of the loaded trailer weight. The issue is sway - if tongue weight is less than 10%, then sway is likely. TrailManors are built with a tongue weight of 14% just for that reason.

Thanks for the math, Bill! I don't think you're a Downer. I agree with you that videos like that don't disclose appropriately that the equipment usage in that manner was done by professional and should not be recommended (or fantasized for a lack of a better term) to the casual consumer. Disclaimers are very important and it should have said he was exceeding the recommendation for the TV, with or without the WDH.
What I did like about the video was not so much the Tesla, just the examples of how to measure and set up a WDH. I did find that informative.
