Comment on Arizona toddler rescued after getting trapped in a Tesla with a dead battery | The Model Y’s 12-volt battery, which powers things like the doors and windows, died

  No. You just need to be able to exit without power. Getting back in mechanically isn’t a requirement.

  It should be, but it’s not.

    Damn, even fighter jets have an external override. They’re even labeled for rescue workers.

      I don’t know who Jettison Canopy is but I hope he’s around when you need to do this.

      A car window is a lot easier to shatter than a fighter jet canopy.

        Not these Teslas, from what I understand. The type of glass they use is EXTREMELY resistant to shattering.

  You can also “jump” the car to open it via a 12V access port in the front.

    Yeah, doesn’t help much in case of actual emergency does it?

      Then break the fucking window if it’s an actual emergency.

        They did

        The child was safely removed from the car after firefighters used an ax to smash through a window

        Yeah…because breaking the window as your first option in an emergancy is a GREAT idea. No need for a manual handle with a key, right? What a stupid idea that would be.

        Yeah, that’s much quicker than just unlocking the door with your fucking key, right?

        Agree. The only worry is the flying glass might hurt the child.
