Even I didn’t have Twitter locking itself in its panic room after DDoSing itself on my bingo card.

Can you imagine getting into a car made by a company run by someone this incompetent?

@aral Imagine if this Tesla owner had been locked inside his vehicle in the heat instead of locked out.

Tesla owner locked out after 12V battery died in Texas heat

The Tesla owner said getting stuck in his driveway was "annoying as hell," and he tried everything from hosing the car down to jumping the battery.

@femme_mal you merely use the inside door handle to get out. No electricity required.

Right after you 'merely' find out where the Emergency Manual Release (handle or cable) is hidden.

@dec23k @femme_mal it’s not hidden. It’s a regular door handle that is located where door handles usually are. Teslas have plenty of issues with things like “autopilot” but that is not one of them. Just sayin’.

@foolsgarden @dec23k LOL so you're saying a door mechanism which is operated by electronics from the outside and operated physically from the inside will *never* fail when the battery suffers a catastrophic failure potentially taking all electronic controls with it at the same time.

Got it. What incredible faith you have in Tesla vehicle brand. https://www.enjuris.com/defective-products/tesla-battery-fire/

@femme_mal @dec23k it’s not a matter of faith. It’s just how the mechanical door handle operates. That’s all.

@foolsgarden @dec23k Okay. Sure. A mechanical door which is also attached to electronics for opening *always* works this way.

Even when a battery explodes. Got it. Bookmarking this just to remind myself that the individuals fried inside a Tesla could have simply operated the door handle from inside.

Have a nice life. Enjoy your Tesla.

@femme_mal @dec23k um. If the battery explodes you won’t be opening the door in any case.

I understood your comment to pertain to the opening of the door in case of a dead battery.

@foolsgarden @dec23k There are many ways for a battery to die.

Fire and explosion have proven to be one of them.

@femme_mal @dec23k well. Ok. Next time I hear someone say they have a dead battery I’ll be sure to ask them if it exploded :-)

@foolsgarden @dec23k As I said, have a nice life.
