The Tesla owner said getting stuck in his driveway was “annoying as hell,” and he tried everything from hosing the car down to jumping the battery.

This happened to James May after he left his car sitting for a bit of time. It was a huge pain in the ass to fix it
Happens to gas cars too. Jump it or get it serviced. Not like Teslas are unique in this
I think it’s the fact that you can’t really open the car or the hood when that happens. If my Hyundai battery dies, I open the car door, the hood, and just replace the battery.
Well, I can do that on my Tesla too. You just have to know what to do.
And there are other gas cars which are fully electric too. So if it’s locked, you would have similar issues.
Not disagreeing. Just think it’s a dumb problem. Getting access to your hood shouldn’t require you to do something stupid like taking off your tow hitch and juicing thé contacts. BMWs are really dumb about it too. Just want cars to be easily fixable.
Well yeah. I agree there. They should make it fairly simple to gain access to the 12 volt battery.
I know it’s not what you meant, but I giggled at the thought of James May in Texas with a big cowboy hat saying “oh cock”
