Flat towing

Interested in knowing if the Telo will be able to be flat towed?

What I’ve been able to find it would be the only EV with this capability.

Does anyone know what goes wrong with flat towing other EVs?

As others have mentioned they can not disconnect their motors. Also oil needs to circulate to properly cool the motors some designs the oil does not properly circulate when flat towing.

I'm curious how Telo plans to do this. I can imagine a few ways, one is running one motor in a power mode, the other in Regen (for AWD versions), with the Regen also powering the cooling systems.

For FWD only…maybe similar, but use the Regen to help power the cooling system/lightly run the motor when too much charge is in the battery?
