    Whenever essential functions (e.g. access) are powered, they’re supposed to have manual overrides. I’m pretty sure this is a regulatory requirement even here in the States where we’re stupid and regulatory agencies are mostly captured.

    So WTF happened, Tesla? Where’s the manual override for when the battery fails?

      It’s basic safety for industrial plants to designate powered equipment as “fail open” or “fail closed” or on/off. It’s shocking that this wasn’t applied to Tesla cars.

      We really need an industry that performs industrial grade HAZOPs on consumer products and publishes a report for everyone to see.
