A Tesla owner says he was locked out of his EV after its 12-volt battery died amid the Texas heat
The Tesla owner said getting stuck in his driveway was "annoying as hell," and he tried everything from hosing the car down to jumping the battery.
The Tesla owner said he had to spend about $200 to have the electric car towed to Tesla . . .
Did Tesla stop including tow as part of their warranty / roadside program?
1ReplyIs this really news?
So if I get locked out of a car, I'm suddenly worthy of making headlines? There are bigger things to draw attention to than this.
0ReplyAny other car has a physical key as a backup. If the battery dies you can use the physical key to open it up and pop the hood to get to the battery to charge it.
With a Tesla you can’t do that because they don’t have a physical key.
1ReplyThere’s a manual latch on the front that works for the battery if it’s dead to open the hood. This isn’t news it’s just clickbait Tesla hate.
The article itself says the owner tried to jump it several times before having to get it towed… like he would have for every other car brand.
