    Towing Raises New Issues When EVs Are Involved
    I thought it was pretty funny that the first example given here was a Frito-Lay truck...

    Read first half. Didn't see point within it. Vehicles are regularly towed without access to the cabin and subsequent disengaging of transmission. That's why if the cabin cannot be accessed a FWD vehicle is dragged by its rear or a rear by its front, otherwise damage occurs, whether it's EV or not.

    Yep, or if it's AWD/4X4 or even a 2WD with the parking brake on, they have dollies to lift whichever wheels they'd have to 'drag'.

    Just another poster trying to keep people from different vehicles that are starting to come out.
