How do I put a Tesla Plaid in neutral?

I have a Tesla Model S Plaid, and it’s been awesome so far. However, I do have a question although the application has never come up, thankfully. How can I put it in neutral if need be?

Putting a Model S Plaid in neutral requires the touch screen. To put a Model S Plaid in neutral, press and hold the lower left corner of the touch screen until you see it turn blue. This activates neutral mode so you can move or roll the car without engaging the engine.
This is ideal for moving the car if you run out of juice or if you need to put your car on a tow truck.
Hopefully, you never need a tow truck, but if you do, adding
towing and labor coverage
to your car insurance policy can be a godsend. It functions just like roadside assistance, offering towing, jump-starts, and other types of assistance.
If you want to err on the side of caution and add this coverage while also reducing your
