I find it seriously hard to believe that there's not a manual drivetrain disconnect. I do find it easy to believe that a tow-truck driver didn't know it had one, as I've seen them drag automatic vehicles rather than pull the transmission disconnect. I also don't find it hard to believe that most people don't know that these things exist.

You might be right, although I have seen the way some of the simpler electric cars connect power to wheel and I could see there not being a way, but hopefully the Tesla is more refined.

It's interesting that they did not refute this untowable claim in their rebuttal.
