While reading another post, someone mentioned possible things to consider if the Mach E ever needed to be towed.
With that in mind, if the Mach E is parked in a garage (front in), and it needed to be towed, how on earth would it be done?

Thanks in advance for answering some of my daft, yet, interesting questions!

The tow operator should have wheel dollies to put under all 4 wheels and the car will roll right out.

Edit: something like this-

...ah, they'd jack it, insert the dollies, and then roll it out? Got it!
Yep, just be sure they jack the vehicle up at the designated points. Not just with MMEs, but other EV owners have had either themselves or someone else jack the car up by the battery pack shield and it can cause damage. It's not a terrible idea to review the MME jack points, along with the appropriate way to hook up a winch if needed, since there are some holes in the pack shield that look like they could be winch points, but are aluminum and it will (likely) tear the shield.

Thanks for that. I have actually already watched a few videos on the jacking points and the two holes at the front for towing. Some online have some stickers that one can install to make it very clear the jacking points/towing. I might look into those...
