THERE WILL BE A TIME WHEN IT JUST WON'T GO

[KevinRS]

The whole idea that a Slate would be untowable with a dead battery ignores some things. Just because it can't be flat towed doesn't mean the powertrain is locked up with a dead battery. The rear wheels will roll, you just don't want to roll them fast or for an extended time like a tow. Most cars with an automatic transmission have had the same restriction for decades, the manual says to get a flatbed tow truck.
Even if it was locked up, the flatbed driver isn't going to have a problem dragging the vehicle a few feet onto the bed. I've seen them pick up cars that are in park/parking brake on/tires flat. Except for with flat tires, it's not going to significantly wear on the tires either.

There's _nothing_ that can't be towed.

Bro needs to check out some towing vids on the YouTubes.

...and critical thinking.

Pretty sure bro was just a troll.

Tow truck drivers around here use Dawn dish soap by the gallon. Squirt some under the tires and the slide right along.

My R1T gets towed on a flatbed, it's not really a big deal.

Yes. For Tesla, and I also believe for Rivian, there is a "tow mode" selection in the service menu. I had to use it when removing tires while on a lift to lockout auto-leveling on the air suspension.

EDIT- it is called "jack mode" when changing tires on a hoist. Tow mode is for pulling your vehicle onto a flatbed using the front eye hook.

Regarding Slate, I'm sure there will be some towing guidance in Slate University and the Slate app on your phone.
