"Hey guys, just had to share this crazy story. I was driving my Citroen e-C4 back from the store and I must've left the parking brake off, because I came around the corner and the car just rolled down this hill. Luckily it's still running and seems to be doing alright, but I'm surprised the battery survived the shock."

"Lol what a wild ride that must've been! Thankfully, the electric motor has enough control to keep it moving, I guess that's what they mean by 'regenerative braking' Anyone else seen this kind of situation happen in person?"

"Whoa, that's crazy! Glad to hear the e-C4 is still running. Must be a pretty solid motor to withstand that drop, any damage to the battery pack or exterior?"

"Lol that's insane! Must've gotten it in neutral or something. How steep was the hill and are you okay?"

"Lol, that's wild! I've heard of cars getting wrecked in wild ways but falling down a hill and still running is insane!"

"Whoa, that's insane! Glad the e-C4 held up, but I'm pretty sure I'd be in a panic state if my car just rolled down a hill. Was it still driving when you finally caught up to it?"

"Whoa, that's crazy! Did you at least manage to catch up to it before it went too far? Hopefully, no permanent damage was done to the battery"
