I don't think I have ever had a car towed without a flat bed yet this blogger is trying to shock readers into thinking you can't move a bricked car. I am also pretty sure no car will start after sitting for months without a tender unless maybe you have a solar panel roof.
I expect it would be quite difficult to move a bricked Roadster. The parking pawl locks the rear axle when the vehicle is off. For towing the vehicle must be turned on and placed into tow mode to disable the parking lock. This can't be done if the vehicle is dead.

Tow trucks do not have problems towing cars and Tesla batteries don't cost 40k.
No doubt they can. Just saying if the vehicle is parked nose first in a garage without direct access by a rollback it could be a bit of a job. Tow hook point is only on the front and they will need to put dollies under the rears to move it.
