[The Exiled]

The problem with Tesla’s futuristic design is that the door handles only come out when they sense a key fob nearby. If the battery is on fire, or if the car battery is dead, it auto locks. This doesn’t allow the person inside to get out, and it doesn’t allow someone from the outside to help the person inside. If you’re ever locked into a Tesla and you need to get out, there is a manual release in the front seats. This release is just above the window buttons. You will need to pull up on the release and then open the door.

Elon Musk’s Tesla is facing a legal battle with drivers over claims the company falsely advertised how many miles its electric cars can travel on a full battery. The lawsuit states: "Had Tesla honestly advertised its electric vehicle ranges, consumers either would not have purchased Tesla model vehicles, or else would have paid substantially less for them." The owners allege Tesla committed fraud, violated warranties and conducted unfair competition. If the lawsuit gets class action status, it would cover all people in California who bought a Tesla Model 3, Model S, Model X or Model Y. The plaintiffs are hoping for unspecified damages. Tesla also faces lawsuits and regulatory scrutiny over its Autopilot and "Full Self-Driving" technology and its claims about the safety of those systems. Tesla has disbanded its communications team and isn't available for comment.
