My decide that she would back the car out of the garage and drive way today with the parking brake on!!!! We have a longer driveway that goes from the rear to the front of the house.

I am worried that she damaged the electric motors. My understanding is that in reverse, the vehicle only operates under the electric motors. I still can't believe she did this!!!!

As soon as I saw what she did I took the car for about a 20 minute spin and everything drives o.k. I wasn't able to get as good of mileage as normal on the route I drove, but I am not sure this is fair. Of course my mind now is running through all kinds of bad scenarios. I also noticed that when the car is on but the ICE is off, that I am hearing a high pitched sound coming from the engine compartment. I never noticed this before, but maybe it's because I never listened for something so critically.

Am I just being overly paranoid?

Thanks
