They designed a car that can’t be towed? Lmao how is literally everything about this car as dumb as possible.
The issue is that a motor is a generator so spinning the wheels like that is going to overcharge the battery. I'm not sure why they don't lock up the wheels to make it as annoying as possible to tow incorrectly, though.
many cars have special towing considerations.
In fairness to the Cybertruck (lol), my old Prius used to do something similar where the wheels would lock up if the battery was dead. Most tow trucks these days carry the whole car on the back so it didn't really matter but if it had ever been moved by one like in the photo it would've fucked the car
Yeah, my only thought is that a Cybertrukkk might be too big or heavy to go on a tow bed, which I'm sure nobody at Tesla ever thought of looking into.
