The car is started. It is still plugged in, but still on. The steering locks up, and it won't let you shift into drive when it's plugged it, but still, it's on. Will it knee? The answer may surprise you.

Now, you might say that any car with push button start is impossible to knee. Let's find out if this is true! *Attempts to knee it*

IT KNEES! SHOCKING! I was able to turn it on and off with my knee multiple times. I smell a recall.

Poor Leaf... Sorry for the bad iPotato pictures. Also, sorry for no video, maybe one come in the future. And lastly, sorry about the messy garage!

Hmm, I don't know. I know that if you try to shift into reverse above 7 MPH it goes into neutral... I think the car wouldn't let you turn it off personally.

Probably not, but we'll never know unless YOU DRIVE IT

Generally while the car is running, you need to hold the power button for 3 seconds in order for the engine to turn off. It's designed specifically to prevent this sort of thing from happening.
