It’s an electric car, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to have an electronic security system tied to locks, alarm and immobiliser. If there’s no power you’re not going anywhere anyway.
- eropple 5y agoIf there’s no power, you still need to be able to get in or out of the car. It doesn’t matter if the 12V or the HV electronics are failed: you cannot leave somebody with only breaking a window as the method of ingress or egress from a physically intact vehicle. It is genuinely mystifying.
- bdonlan 5y agoThere's a mechanical door handle on the interior. If you run out of batteries completely and need to get in the procedure is: 1. Open a small panel on the front and apply 12V to the emergency cables to unlock the frunk (this only works if the car is powered off as I understand) 2. Jumpstart the car's low voltage battery, located under a panel under the frunk 3. Unlock and open the door normally 4. Attach an EVSE charger to get the HV back online as well
