Did you know that if the battery on your dies, you can’t even open the doors? I have a friend whose Tesla has been sitting in his garage for the better part of a week.

@AlliFlowers Jumping the 12V is easy enough for an owner to do in their garage. Not quite as convenient as a mechanical lock backup, but still doable for the rare cases of sudden 12V failure.

@Lownewulf Even when the repair guy showed up, he couldn’t do it. You can’t jump what you can’t access.

@AlliFlowers there's an external access port to open the frunk. The video I linked walks through the entire process to get access.

@AlliFlowers but what about your friend? He's been locked out of his car and scheduling repair appointments all week! We've made a miraculous discovery of a solution with the help of the Internet. Aren't you going to go help your friend??!??one?

@Lownewulf I could copy from here and paste to Facebook. He’s already had it towed, so it’s not a biggie now.
