2018 V3. I have the IC pump removed, front bumper off and supercharger belt off. Forgive my ignorance but can I drive the car like this just to get it on a trailer?
It's not gonna run very well, but if it runs good enough to drive it on a trailer, you're not going to harm anything with the car in this state of disassembly unless it falls on the ground and you run it over.
Hell, I drove my car a few miles with NO FUCKING WATER IN THE RADIATOR thanks to a rusted piece of crap OEM lower radiator hose clamp, and other than the crappy limp-home performance (which was barely capable of moving the car, TBT), no harm done.
Just get yourself a harbor freight 20% off coupon and head down there and get a winch. Should be a drop in the bucket compared to whatever you're doing on a V3, and every trailer should have a winch anyways.
