So long story short yesterday florida was under a state of emergency due to flooding. My wife was leaving work and the roads to get to the highway were very flooded with cars stranded everywhere blocking the roads. I told her to find the highest point near her and leave the car parked and I will have a friend with a truck come pick her up. She parked it in shopping plaza next her restaurants. 3 AM rolls around and im awoken to my tesla alarm going off and we are being towed. Mind you the streets are all flooded. We have it all on video but basically the tow truck driver pickled it up from the back and drove over 12 miles to the tow yard pulling it through the flooded water on the front wheels with no dollies. Front bumper splitter was pulled off by the water and I have no idea what harm they may have caused to the front motors.
The tow truck guy states that this will not cause any harm to the car despite what tesla says on their website.
Im not sure if they are even allowed to tow my car form a lot while under a state of emergency as all business were ordered closed.
Florida law states car cannot be towed more than 10 miles.
Negligence of the tow driver not to use dollies when he had them on his truck per the video.
Other than the bumper and the tow bill not sure what else I can go after them for if nothing is showing damage right away.
Tesla wants 600-900 to do a diag of the vehicle.
