Maybe it is a hybrid thing in general. I don’t remember our Prius needing to do that but it had that bladder gas tank.

48v S Class doesn’t require that but the PHEV S class does. I guess it’s a full hybrid able to drive without the engine on thing?

Yeah and it's a massive step up from older ones, you have a lot of underside braces etc as well vs older ones. They picked up like 10k nm/*

What was wrong with it? Did you take it to the dealer to fix it?

Oops! Haha
Hopefully they get a tow truck driver who knows what he's doing.

I can see getting lots of body damage and breaking things under the car too, if not winched out carefully.

Dam, sorry for the triple post.
Not my fault, somehow I missed all these good posts.

Dam rats, be gone!
Rant over. Haha 🤓🙏

Ps, hopefully your Indy will go easy on you but I guess it depends on how much damage was done and if they have to pull a new harness thru the engine, yikes.
