There’s been a really furious focus on electric cars lately, because Joe Biden and his green communist regime are hell-bent on forcing Americans to embrace their goofy “climate change” agenda, including purchasing 60K electric cars. Their logic is stupefying. People can’t afford high gas prices, but Joe thinks they can afford to buy a ridiculously expensive car. But Joe and his elite pals don’t care about that. All they care about is making themselves and their “green” donors and buddies lots of money.
But there are a lot of issues when it comes to electric cars. We hear about a new issue every day; it seems. And here we are again, with another disaster story involving an electric car — this time a Tesla, and things got so bad, that one man, became “trapped” in his car, with no way out, and had to launch the emergency override to get out of the vehicle.
Western Journal reported that a British YouTuber was recently left stranded on the side of the road for hours after his Tesla shut down and trapped him inside.
Tom Exton, a YouTube personality who focuses on the collection of cars and watches, was traveling to London in the Tesla that he bought 5 days prior when the incident occurred.
Exton said he started out with close to a full charge and after only 15 minutes into his trip, his Model Y forced him to pull over, Business Insider reported.
He said on Twitter that the screen inside “glitched” and he “couldn’t do anything.” Minutes later “all power to the car was gone,” he told Insider.
This is a picture of the screen that popped up:
Exton said he was left inside the “dark car in [the] pitch black on the side of a busy road in freezing temps, with [a] dying phone battery.”
Since Teslas require power to unlock, he said he “couldn’t open the door by conventional means,” and “had to use the emergency manual-override latch on the door.”
After two hours, roadside assistance finally arrived.
Doing so “somehow broke the driver’s window,” Exton said.
Just relieved gf/dogs are not with me. In minus 3, middle of nowhere. Been 2 hours so far waiting for AA.
There’s a reason they punted so many out the door on cheap lease deals. Do yourself a favour and get a Polestar. Or anything other than a Tesla.

Despite Exton’s tweet about buying a Polestar, he did tell Insider that Tesla’s customer service was very helpful and even offered to pay for a night at a hotel.
Thanks, but I am just gonna stick with my gas-powered vehicle.
