    You can put teslas in a Tow mode too but that would mean the owner was aware a tow truck was coming to turn the car on and set it on tow mode. If they didn’t, the car needs to be on skates and needs to be lifted up entirely where no wheels can spin.

      I guess the other difference is that the Leaf is front wheel drive only, so as long as the truck lifts the front wheels there’s no risk to anything going wrong.

      Personally I like it when EVs aren’t too different from regular cars, the leaf is basically a Nissan Rogue, but instead of a gas engine there’s an electric one, and instead of a gas tank there’s a battery pack.

      If so, why not turn on the car alarm and put the vehicle into tow mode on detecting an overcurrent?

      In fact, Teslas have very loud external speakers in lieu of horns. They could just say “you are towing the car wrong. Please stop and consult the manual” on repeat at 100 decibels
