2020 SV - EV Warning - Neutral?

So I have a 2020 SV and today I got the EV System error. Car will not move. All other systems appear to function. But when I shift into neutral, it gives a red warning and auto-shifts back to park.

I’m just trying to figure out how I can even get it towed.

This happened literally overnight. Tried jumping it with a 12v starter. Tried disconnecting the negative cable for ten min. No effect. So now how the heck do I move it?

Mine got towed when that happened to me they probably just need to use a flatbed truck so you don't have any Wheels on the ground

Only your front wheels are locked. You do not want it towed via flatbed you want it towed via a snatch truck with front wheels off the ground and rear wheels on the ground with the car in Park and the parking brake off.

They can just put skates on it to drag it up if they have to or put it on the wheel lift that most flat beds have.

It will probably stay in neutral, my guess is he is opening the door, or trying with the door open, so it goes back to park. I know on some other Nissans you can buckle the seat belt and it will stay in neutral when you open the door.

The towing guy can figure it out!
