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.

Does your ICE powered vehicle have redundant 12V batteries? (Even 4x4s with dual batteries very rarely have both connected to the cars electronics…)

I‘m not here to shit on EVs. Tesla just makes some really bad calls. My ICE has a key hidden inside the fob I can use to unlock my car. This isn’t something EVs couldn’t do, just something Tesla doesn’t think about doing because they want to have all the margin and anything redundant means slightly higher BOM.

No OP, but I can still open my door when my battery dies.
