I need to pull the car out of some snow, and i want to put it in a mode where i can just pull it with another vehicle and let the wheels free-spin.
Is that what happens if you shift it into "N" and leave it on?
I know if i turn it off, Park will engage automatically.

The car is charged so i dont have any problem with it being on, and i only need to move it about 5 feet, but i dont want to take a chance of dragging it.
 
as it happens iwas able to recover the vehicle without pulling it. i just had to make a path for the front tires.
One thing i noticed while doing this is there's nothing like a "low speed" mode in the Rav4EV (ie. turn the wheels as slowly as possible). Which would've worked without digging...

The Model 3 has a low speed mode like that in case you get stuck.
