This happened to me for the first time today.

I ran completely out of power "no driving power available" (ie. the "end of turtle"). I was on the side of the road when i got there so it was safe
but getting the car onto the flatbed tow truck was a problem.

I didnt realize when the car is turned OFF, its *always* in "Park", so you cant move it (roll it).

To get it on to the truck i had to get in the car, turn it "on" and then have it blaring at me to "put it in Park position" but then just not do that.
(the car rolled onto the truck fine at that point and was winched up onto the truck).

What if i didn't have enough power left to activate the drive system though? Would it have been untowable at that point?
