Numerous Tesla owners have said they’ve been stuck inside their EVs after the cars suddenly lost power.

YouTuber Tom Exton claimed that his Tesla Model Y ordered him to pull over before it suddenly lost power and left him unable to exit.

Exton followed the instructions for the manual release to open the door, but he said this “somehow broke the driver’s window.”

    Reason #286 to never own a god damned stupid Tesla.

    Cars are required to have manual releases by law; it’s just shitty how Tesla appears to be skirting those rules by hiding these manual releases behind inconvenient placements and locations…which is going to get people killed someday when one of these damn things catch fire.
