My A3 e-tron is a 2016 with 42k miles. I've been getting a message similar to this recently, but my car has gone into gas only mode. I made an appointment but there was a 2 month wait time. I've been driving around in my car while I waited for my appointment. I was visiting my parents and it won't go into gas only mode. I'm not able to drive my car. I'm stranded here. I call the Audi dealership and they said they can't take my car since they're so busy and I would have to wait for my appointment.

Is there anything I can do to put my car into gas only mode so that I can go home at least?
 
I've had it at the dealer for almost two weeks since I had it towed there. Audi's roadside assistance charged me $264, btw. I've been calling for an update and finally got today. They said Audi of Germany wants the dealer to put in a new battery (not drive battery) before authorizing a drive battery replacement. The dealer is charging me $518 for the new battery. They explained that the cost is from the labor involved in replacing it.
 
Here is the latest update:
