First off, lol
Second, that seems like a major design flaw given the possibility of something exactly like this happening. Was it that difficult to disengage whatever the mechanism is when it’s not running?
The cybertruck is shit but this is a problem for most if not all EVs. The wheels are mounted to the motor which then generates current when the wheels spin. I’m not sure how difficult it is to solve but at least Toyota, Ford, BMW, BYD and Rivian haven’t figured it out either. They all recommend towing on a flatbed or using dollies.
