Parking Break Degraded, Window Won't Go Up, Trunk Won't Close

2018 Model 3 Long Range 11k miles
I got in car, tried to put in drive and simultaneously trunk popped open (and won't latch closed), passenger window went down an inch (and won't close) and parking break re-engaged. The only error I'm getting is "Parking brake functions degraded/Parking brake may not apply or release."
This happened before and after a day of sitting, I was able to drive it for service. The replaced 12V battery. About 5 days later, same set of issues and now car won't shift out of park.
Before I have it towed for service, any ideas on how to get it to drive? Anyone else had this odd combination of failures?
First service appointment is 2/11, so I need to tow it in anyway so they'll take it in sooner.
 
Just to get it to the service center..... have you tried a reboot? That is the only thing that comes to mind.
I was able to successfully reboot last time and get it to the service center myself. So far, have tried a few reboots and it won't clear this time.
Would really like to get it going because car is parked head in to a tight, sloped driveway which will make a tow very difficult.
 
I see you said slope driveway..... If its sloped in your favor then put it in tow mode and roll it to a better spot. If its not sloped in your favor then 3 or 4 strong friends and tow mode might do the trick.

And I just watched this video so beware! I would make sure you know everything about towing a M3 before the tow truck arrives.
