Oh they can be towed, and the best part is if done smartly they can have it charge the batteries while doing it.
Hooking it up with a front wheel dolly so the back tires rotate will charge it while being towed. Adds drag to the tow vehicle, but the weenie doing it usually is so self absorbed and in EV righteousness to them it’s “Free Energy” from the sucker doing the pulling.

Theoretically possible in a RWD Tesla if the driver is in the vehicle and pressing the brake pedal while being towed but no state I know of is it legal for the driver to be in the vehicle under commercial tow that’s a huge no no by law and the insurance company of the tow driver would have his job post haste. You can get someone to come with a commercial sized diesel generator that will put out 50 amps of 240v a Tesla won’t take a floating ground three wire circuit you have to have true earth four wire to real ground so portable generator are out ,commercial ones with a grounding rod driven to earth would work but only at 7.2 or 11kw so not.worth it. High V DC generators are hideously expensive specialized equipment. The better way is to use a commercial 60kw 480v/3phase gen set to feed a portable 50kw hvdc charger those are ten grand or so and the size of a steamer trunk plus on.wheels. This is how almost all rescue charge services work they bring in a portable fast DC and put in 50 miles of range that’s enough to get the inept tech person to a supercharger that the car was desperately trying to get them to stop at the last few they passed ignoring the one screen navigation commands. It’s cheaper just to flat bed the car to the closest fast DC which in a city would be a dozen mad or less away. I’m sitting smoking a cigar with no less than 30 fast DC spots in a two mile radius my Tesla is outside in sentry mode at 65% and I am only 40 miles from home, range anxiety nope not in the least. It would have cost me four gallons of $4.09 a gallon for 93 today. Instead I am on my big trip for the week on free power from the panels from 12 to 3 pm today...Loving every mile of it.
