First off, lol

Second, that seems like a major design flaw given the possibility of something exactly like this happening. Was it that difficult to disengage whatever the mechanism is when it’s not running?

In AWD gas cars it's a problem because the front and rear wheels are linked together, but this thing has two bazinga drive packs that are independent. It only needs to lock one to have an effective "park" and it doesn't even needs that because it could use one axle's brakes as a parking brake. They could have made it easier to tow (you know, for when it inevitably breaks) but they chose to spend more time and effort to make it worse.
