You kids and your hopped up 72v electric cars. Always breaking things with all that POWER! Sheesh.
Just a word of warning about towing the car: if you leave it in neutral, bungee the shift lever so there is absolutely NO way it can accidentally get into gear. As dubious as this sounds, I have heard of two motors destroyed by towing. And both owners claimed they left the shifter in N when they started the trip. You could pre-emptively put it in 5th gear, but then you're wearing the brushes/comm out for no reason.
When we towed the ForkenSwift to Ottawa, I put a bungee on the shift lever to hold it in N. Paranoid after those stories!
