It won't let you turn it off in drive stick that bitch in neutral and it will. Car manufacturers design cars to be able to be turned off with a stuck accelerator, people just dont know about it and tend to panic.
Putting it in neutral is just a suggestion to the computer as well. If it locked up entirely, nothing helps in this sort of design. Go back to reliable cable control imo.
Many cars still have neutral be a mechanical connection as a safety feature, I think its just ones with the stupid knob that isnt. There's still an override, otherwise you'd have a tough time getting a tow.
I just rented a brand new Mercedes over the 4th of July, and it wouldn't let you put it in neutral while you were driving. The stupid gear selector was on a stalk like the turn signal, and I accidentally tried a few times.
Oh yeah, just grenade your transmission. Putting it in neutral fixes the problem without even needing to shut it off. Its like people have forgotten neutral even exists in the age of automatic transmissions.
My Life vs. my transmission is not a difficult decision to make. Emergency reactions should require the fewest steps possible, and a safety measure to ensure I don't trash my engine by accident shouldn't cause a scared person to not be able to save their own life.

Are EV drive modes mechanically linked typically?
Im fairly certain most EVs have a mechanical link to neutral as a safety feature.

Guess which one the mach-e has?

They probably have a hidden override, which is retarded. German engineering

Know what it takes to put it in neutral? Moving the shifter. Its literally one step. No brakes required, I've done it on accident before.
