It does not have the problem you describe. It can be pushed around to point at targets just like a regular (non-motorised) dob. You can even do this while it's tracking and it just continues tracking the new target.

At 1:26 it says:
"The patented dual-encoder design allows you to manually move the telescope anytime and to anywhere you wish - with no need for re-allignment. Slewing to an object on the opposite side of the night sky no longer feels like watching a pot boil.
Simply push the tube close to the object and let the computer do the rest of the work."
