So, it would block the exit of that car wash because it's playing dead and sulking?

Then you need to ask some random people to help you push it away to the side, and everyone gets a good laugh ...๐Ÿ˜…

It's almost like they make a Fisker Ocean or a Hummer EV

Would you even be able to move it? You'd have to put it in neutral first so you can attempt to push it but good luck with that if it's bricked. I know electric cars generally shouldn't really be towed either (a few meters might be okay but I'm not sure).

You'd rather reimburse the car wash company for two hours of that unusable place?
