I heard this a week ago, and it was on the news again this morning. A baby was accidentally locked in a Cadillac Lyriq EV that had a faulty battery and the family could not open the vehicle or charge it.
Come to find out there's a key hidden inside the FOB, which allows you to open the trunk. They pulled the infant out through the trunk.
Losing power on a Cadillac is no joke. My mother has a Cadillac-- not an EV, and it has a key ignition. If the battery dies, and the key is in the ignition, you can't remove the key. The fob itself won't work if there's no power to the car. This basically means you can't lock the car in that situation and have to leave the key in the ignition. This is a problem if the car is away from home when it happens. I remember calling the dealership about it, and they said it was convoluted to remove the key without power and would not tell me how to do it.
My take-- NEVER EVER buy a Cadillac.
