Exactly.

That’s what is not clear.

Traditional ICE cars with auto transmissions allow you to do this, by design.

But you’d have to have a front wheel drive car and engage the parking brake / handbrake to lock the rear wheels like that.

Which is not possible in a Tesla.

For a Tesla to have locked the rear wheels whilst the front wheels continue to drag the car forward, does, on the surface seem like a failure in software or electronics somewhere.

I should test what happens in my Tesla :-)

(Side note: I wish Musk would just leave Tesla so we can all feel less shitty about owning them :-/ )
