Prius’ used to have a problem in that the main power feed ran through the A pillar so emergency services couldn’t cut you out of it without killing themselves. Bit of a different situation though.

I would have thought an average locksmith could have opened it, and given its already exploded there probably wasn’t a need to get it open quick via Tesla tech support. I’m surprised the radios providing telemetry and control even worked in a car that had exploded, particularly a car that appears to be riddled with issues like a cyber truck.
