500e has no tow point, according to at least one of those threads, as @RoadRaceJosh noted.

It seems extremely dangerous: The front end has a removable cover where a tow eye would go, & there's even a hole inside that, where an eye will seem to screw in, however it's just plastic & sheet metal, with no actual threads to take the load.

In other words, a well-meaning tow truck driver might screw in an eye, & it will pull right out, hopefully with nobody in its line of fire, & hopefully while the car is still on level ground.

I believe the back end is safer, with a removable cover there too, but no hole inside it to fake you out.

So it needs to be towed the old-fashioned way, strapping onto some strong suspension parts.

Now, now - I never meant to Start a thread about Tow charging the Car in Reverse !!!
That's where even I'll draw the line

The power gauge shows no regen in reverse anyway, but what I meant by "safer" is that unlike the front, at the back I believe that under the plastic cap there's NO hole at all, in which to insert a tow eye that seems okay but isn't.

how is it different than coasting at the same speed when driving?

It seems to me that it's the same IF you're towing the car in "ready" mode & it's in drive, like coasting at the same speed when driving.

And be VERY careful to remember to turn it off!!!

That's very easy to forget, since it's silent. Note the 4/17/22 addition here:

10/10/22 addition: Maybe easiest yet: Just don't get U69 done! That's all! :oops: (To learn about U69, click here). Then when the 12V starter battery dies with no warning, the HV pack will kill itself trying to recharge it. 4/17/22 addition: To completely kill a 500e permanently dead, just...

tow bar for Fiat 500

Those dollies look good for towing with the front wheels up to prevent regen, but you must mean the vid, which shows this "Roadmaster gas 500 crossbar-style towbar mount" (click to enlarge):

That seems likely to also bolt onto a 500e (pic from @500e*clipse):

Towing a tiny Fiat 500 behind an RV is okay, unless you forget to take it out of gear and obliterate its transmission.
