Consumer Description

My rear passenger doors were unable to open. The falcon wing doors could not be opened leaving my child trapped inside. The child locks were on but I could not open the doors from inside or outside the vehicle even if I tried overriding the system. I attempted a vehicle restart and that did not resolve the issue. Finally I turned off the child locks and reached inside the vehicle from the driver door and held the open button on the rear door. The door still would not open up but did pop open a couple inches. I had to physically lift the door up against the resistance of the electric motors to get my child out. I did open a service request with Tesla but I do not feel safe driving this vehicle if the doors are ever unable to be opened.
