This is in the manual.

DO NOT TRANSPORT WITH WHEELS ON THE GROUND
The front motor and rear motor(s) in Cybertruck may generate power when the wheels spin. Always transport Cybertruck with all four tires off the ground. Ensure that the tires are unable to spin at any time during transport.
Warning
NEVER TRANSPORT YOUR VEHICLE WITH THE TIRES IN A POSITION WHERE THEY CAN SPIN. DOING SO CAN LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AND OVERHEATING. IN RARE CASES EXTREME OVERHEATING MAY CAUSE THE SURROUNDING COMPONENTS TO IGNITE.

The best way to think about this is using the regen example. Towing with tires on the ground will regen even if the CT was put in neutral. Since Tesla can’t track the distance being towed, it also cannot determine the amount of regen the CT will gain with the amount of charge on your battery. There are also other factors like speed and motor heat as well.
