Tesla offers manual door releases for situations with depleted power, but Janel opted to wait, fearing potential damage to her car. "Inside my car, it's 103 degrees, so I'm slightly freaking out. I hope I don't run out of air," "I can't open up the doors or the windows otherwise I could potentially damage my car, so I'm just stuck in here roasting like a frickin chicken dripping sweat,"

I hope that I don't die of suffocation and heat, but I can't afford my car breaking if I OPEN THE DOOR in the middle of an update.

So obviously, fuck Teslas.

But it says she didn't used the manual release because she thought it might somehow hurt her car?

And she didn't update it for 6 years and choose waiting for a Chick-fil-A order was the right time, even tho she expected it to take 24 minutes?

Like, what kind of Chick-fil-A takes 24 minutes to make an order, she knew it would be ready before it's done.

This is one of those situations where there's no victim, she's an idiot but Tesla's suck

She is dumb for not using the manual release but why the fuck does it take 40 minutes to do an update?

Is it me or does this seem staged? Or do I just automatically assume that when something gets 30 million views and the person looks like they brought in a stylist first.

What Degrees?

Are Teslas made from tracing paper? How would manually opening the door damage her car?

Engineering aside, Tesla cars simply have terrible build quality. They're like the Stellantis of the EV market now. Why anyone still buys them new it seems I will never understand.

Understandably, she grew anxious about running out of air as the windows wouldn't roll down.

Didn't know Teslas were air sealed... 🤣

Lol what a load of shit. This chick is dumb at least 3 ways:

1. The app and the car warn you that the thing will be unavailable when you select update. GET OUT of the car. Has she never seen the warnings of how fast a car heats up? Like why you can't leave your dog or a kid in the car to run into a store "really quick"?

2. Literally 2 in every 3 people who ride in your car pull the manual release. It is not a big deal if you don't use it every time. It's as though she's never had a passenger in 6 years. I just don't buy it.

3. Most importantly, THIS IS WHAT THE MANUAL LATCH IS DESIGNED FOR.

There are many, MANY design features of a Tesla that suck (as anyone who has one will tell you), but article is clickbait from user stupidity. She needs to wear her helmet at all times for not using the feature designed to let her get out at any moment. Even IF she bent the weather stripping, it would cost less than her chicken sandwiches to fix.

You can just tell that most people here only read headlines. There was manual way to open the doors, that she didn't use.

This is why trunks are required to have an emergency opening latch on the inside. Because children fucking died from exactly this.

Whyyyyy do car manufacturers feel it is necessary to drive the car locking mechanism with software? What benefit does this give anyone?

seems like a webcar is a bad idea

Skill issue

That's why you don't buy a Tesla.
