Lucid Air towing issue

[umbrella_]

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.

While the outcome as posted is clearly regrettable, I'd be inclined to withhold judgement for the time being as there were probably more details we don't yet know.
It's quite possible that the OP wasn't in the best state of mind to formulate a coherent defense.
A terrible day for all involved parties for sure, though.

They do all fit, just not in the trunk exactly. Back seats down, you can get:
- Two in the back seat area, one leaning up diagonally on the next
- One in the trunk past the trunk well
- One in the trunk well

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.

No, I did not but I've been warning other Tow truck companies and car transporters the failure in retrieving one of these could endanger your life if it rolls out of park as your exiting the door and that door pins you under it as it rolls backwards.

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.

Feel free to pick up @borski ’s Gravity tho jk.

Hard pass.

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.
