The car’s owner, Renee Sanchez, was taking her granddaughter to the zoo, but after loading the child in the Model Y, she closed the door and wasn’t able to open it again. “My phone key wouldn’t open it,” Sanchez said in an interview with Arizona’s Family. “My car key wouldn’t open it.” She called emergency services, and firefighters were dispatched to help.

Just so nobody thinks someone left a kid in the car and then went into a store or something. Tesla should be paying for the broken window repair at the very least.

where's the manual door release?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Inside the car (sadly). No manual release on the outside.

If only we had the technology to open doors without power. One day, perhaps.

Until then we've included a complimentary hammer with each Tesla.

But how do you integrate a subscription fee into analog doors? You can‘t enshitify that!!

[–] [email protected] 26 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Oh that's easy, just make it a one time release switch. You gotta replace the ~~door~~ battery after using it.

Or the foresight to have a small backup battery unit used exclusively for emergencies like say when the battery goes out or when someone reverses their car into a lake. The fact these are such death traps shows just how bad the US is when it comes to giving a flying fuck about people over money.

And all the while Elon is touted as some kind of super Lex Lutherian genius.

Honestly if I wrote a fictional book with some of the shit he's done and how the world looks at him publishers would throw it back in my face as being the most unbelievable POS they've read in the past 20 years.

I still dont like something that is electric powered making it so you cant get through a door. If there is a short, the battery dies (which it will someday) or generally bad parts could potentially lead to a preventable death. Cars were made so keys (or key like) can open the door no matter what. And especially in the heat everyone is going through in the US.

have a small backup battery

As far as I understand, that 12V battery was that backup...

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Nope it's a separate battery used like in a normal car to power the low voltage stuff so you don't have to use high grade power lines to run the windows and doors
