If so, why not turn on the car alarm and put the vehicle into tow mode on detecting an overcurrent?

In fact, Teslas have very loud external speakers in lieu of horns. They could just say "you are towing the car wrong. Please stop and consult the manual" on repeat at 100 decibels

Not a bad idea. Shouldn't be too hard to program in.

Shouldn't be too hard to program in.

No truer words have been spoken by someone who has never worked on the system in question. Knowing Tesla, there is probably some arcane bullshit in the code preventing this from happening.
