Not a Tesla car owner. Popping over from the energy forum. There is a debate on another forum on why hoods are accidentally opening while driving.
How does the hood latch mechanism work on Teslas?
My understanding is a single button push will fully release the latch on a Tesla. There is no secondary latch lever that you manually need to release, correct?
Is there an interlock that prevents you from accidentally driving away with the hood open even if you don't see warnings or hear chimes?
Will the weight of the hood automatically engage the secondary safety latch or do you need to let the hood drop or push it down?
Thanks
