LEAFer said:Towing a Tesla Roadster can't normally be done without damage unless you can access the touch-screen and place the car into a special "Tow Mode". The reason is that in the "OFF" state the electric motor and/or gearbox is locked by a paw. In "Tow Mode" state the paw is released, but the wheels are still connected to the motor and gearbox (regen! ), and it is possible to now slowly pull the car onto a flatbed trailer.
I wonder how this will work in the LEAF ?
(Separate thread?)
You don't have to actually tow the cars to get the effect. All you have to do is put a boot on the car and make them pay a fine to get the boot removed and they will learn to not park there again. No worries about damage with booting the vehicle instead of towing.
