Lucid Air came out of park and rolled off car hauler. Read someone had a similar problem when inside car on grade. Need help getting a autourney to help me with the case of having this happen my cargo insurance is going to go up being my insurance company says it is my fault. This dash light came on after I went back up into car to see what happened still eas in park.

Right, okay - I agree. Two fit in the trunk. I’ve done that before, with two in the backseat, with the seats folded down. So all four do not fit in the trunk.
Also sorry for the misunderstanding about the OP being the tower; I misread that.
The rest of what I said still stands, imho.

That is true of literally any car that you transport incorrectly and rolls on you. As you mentioned the Audi and Tesla, feel free to warn other tow truck companies and car transporters that towing or transporting any vehicle without doing their due diligence could result in damage to the vehicle, their person, and/or their business.
Hard pass.Feel free to pick up @borski ’s Gravity thojk.
Then I might suggest they not attempt to formulate a coherent defense until they are in a better state of mind. Because what was posted here is not just an incoherent defense, but is, in effect, an admission of guilt for not inquiring about the correct way to transport the vehicle. Especially combined with the admission that he *did* inquire about the correct way to transport an Audi (from Google, but nevertheless) so he can’t even claim it’s his standard practice to transport blind. IANAL, but good luck.

IANAL, either.
Just couldn't help not wanting to be so harsh on the guy.
He's gotten himself in quite a predicament.
I have to love all the armchair lawyers! The reason (most likely the only reason)
this case does not see a courtroom is that the tow company (looks like an independent/ single truck operator)
litigation costs would eat him alive. On the other hand he may be able to get his carrier to go after
Lucid which would make it an interesting battle. I'm guessing (GUESSING means I do not know and am speculating
not stating it as a fact so simmer down) that if the failure warning came on there will be a record of it in the cars
computer system someplace..... just saying .... not arguing nor am I advising I would not touch this case for any reason.
I having been shipping my car twice a year for about a decade now. I have learned a lot about shipping cars. It is not a simple or easy thing. Haulers transport cars of every make, model, description and condition. There are a huge number of idiosyncrasies involved in shipping various car models. It is asking a lot--actually too much IMO--to expect haulers to know everything about every vehicle. I think it really needs to be up to the car owner to understand what is involved in shipping a car, and to inform the hauler about the potential pitfalls of shipping their car.
In my case, the hauler needs to know how to put my car into ferry mode. Otherwise the car's motion detectors will continually set off the car's alarm system, drain the battery and render the car immovable. I learned this lesson the hard way. There's no way on Earth I would think that the hauler should have been aware of this.
