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.

Don't know. Didn't read it. Flattened my battery once in my petrol car and couldn't get in because of immobiliser.

I love EVs but hate the scope creep and electric vehicles being associated with data mining and lock out. Of course some other non EVs are going that route also.
