A Phoneix grandmother locked out of her Tesla with her grandchild in the back seat

Right, I would need to disconnect the MV battery first to "simulate" failure. Hopefully this does not cause an actual failure lol

Show all you find is that you can pop the hood open.
Yes, experience is great.

Try it on the Cybertruck, that cover is nowhere near as obvious as it is on the Model 3/Y!

wouldn't the cars "logs" show any warning generated and their date/time? And given how litigious our society is today I wonder if Tesla could generate an e-mail or text to the owner which would be proof warning(s) had been issued and have some record. Just trying to close the loop on the "I never received any warnings" claim that will invariably take place.

There is no way for it to catch every battery fault. Maybe this one was detected, maybe not.

I thought she said she did check with Tesla service and they stated no warnings were sent. That is unfortunate. My car warned me ahead of time.

As well as I can remember when I saw this a while back, I looked into it and there were indeed a cascade of dominoes falling, any of it would have kept the problem from appearing. As is often the case, the portion that makes the news often misses reality.
