Sorry about that, Sparky. I thought I saw a more recent post from you about directing traffic around you during SF rush hour traffic.

Wow, Sparky, you've certainly had your share of bad luck - I believe this has happened to you twice! I've been lucky since my first occurrence. In my case, they actually dragged the car up onto the flatbed with a winch (wonder how much rubber I lost from my tires). At the dealer, they used...

It's also surprising that the dealer had to use soapy water to slide the car off the flatbed - you'd think they would have RTFM :D As for the concierge, I have to say they were not terribly helpful and didn't even know that I needed a flatbed rather than a tow truck since the i3 can't be towed...

I wish I'd seen this before they dragged my i3 onto the flat bed truck. Mine died on a hilly, blind curve - I couldn't even get it off the road so I spent 2.5 hours flagging down cars to slow down 100 yards below my car till the flatbed arrived. Yesterday was Sunday so they towed it to my...
