They did
I know.
My response was to the previous comment.
In a non Tesla, if someone is locked in a car, what happens? There isn't some secret "let me in" button. You just break a window. This is a dumb story.
If someone is locked in your car and you're the owner you simply use the key and open the door, no need to break anything, except in a Tesla.
Some cars aren't quite that simple, on newer models they're hiding the keyhole on the bottom side of the handle behind a cover. But usually those models won't lock with the keys inside the car
My keyfob battery was dead and I couldn’t use the hidden keyhole to unlock it. I watched a video on YouTube but I still wasn’t able to make it work. It wasn’t an emergency but I would just break the glass if it was one.
Unless your keys get locked inside too
I mean, presumably if I'm standing outside my car with a key, I just unlock the door and open it. Can't do that with a dead tesla.
