    The child was safely removed from the car after firefighters used an ax to smash through a window

      I know.

      My response was to the previous comment.

      In a non Tesla, if someone is locked in a car, what happens? There isn’t some secret “let me in” button. You just break a window. This is a dumb story.

        If someone is locked in your car and you’re the owner you simply use the key and open the door, no need to break anything, except in a Tesla.

          Some cars aren’t quite that simple, on newer models they’re hiding the keyhole on the bottom side of the handle behind a cover. But usually those models won’t lock with the keys inside the car

        I mean, presumably if I’m standing outside my car with a key, I just unlock the door and open it. Can’t do that with a dead tesla.
