    GUY GETS STUCK IN TESLA WHEN BATTERY DIES

    In a recent incident in Arizona, an electric car owner found himself in a precarious situation when his Tesla's battery unexpectedly died, leaving him trapped inside the vehicle for a daunting 20 minutes. During this time, both the locks and the electric-powered door handle failed to respond, exacerbating the situation.

    Thankfully, a stroke of luck came to the man's rescue when a passerby, familiar with the Tesla's owner's manual, came to his aid. It was revealed that Tesla cars, along with other electric vehicles, possess an emergency release mechanism designed to open the door even in the event of a power outage.

    The incident underscores the importance of thoroughly reading and understanding the owner's manual for electric vehicles. Being aware of such safety features can prove invaluable during unforeseen circumstances, ensuring the safety and well-being of drivers and passengers alike.

    Experts and authorities have advised electric car owners to familiarize themselves with their vehicle's emergency release mechanisms and other essential information outlined in the owner's manual. This simple yet crucial step can potentially make a significant difference in emergencies, providing a means to swiftly and safely exit the vehicle when standard electronic controls are compromised.
