Can confirm. Rear motor stays engaged while towing.It does not. It stays engaged to help with stability while towing (at least I believe that's the reason, would need to double check).
Running only the single motor while towing most likely won't help all that much, as you are still needing to overcome the single biggest force while towing, which is aerodynamics. Number of motors involved isn't gonna change that.
Not sure if it's a stability thing, or a tire wear thing, or a rear clutch disconnect protection thing. I'm guessing it's to protect the rear drive clutch under heavy load, but that's just a guess on my part.
