Thoughts from the Drivers Seat with Mike Nelson

Emergency Unlocking

What happens when your Tesla battery dies, and you can’t open your car in an emergency?  This was the case last month in Scottsdale, Arizona when a toddler accidently got locked in the backseat of the car.  After closing the front door and opening the rear seat door, the car's battery died. Fortunately, the fire department was able to rescue the girl, but had to break a window to open the door.

In this edition of Thoughts From the Drivers Seat, Mike Nelson shows you how to access the 12-volt battery in your Tesla to jump start it and unlock your doors.  This is something that every EV owner should know how to do, especially in the case of an emergency.
