Consumer Description
I brought the car home after purchasing and came back out to the car in the garage, a notice appeared on the screen and the car shut down locking me in. I had to call Tesla who instructed me to use the manual release on the door to get out. This occurred on the first day of ownership and had to be towed to Tesla for repair the next day. From my understanding looking online one of the parts that was replaced (pyrotechnic battery disconnect - please refer to attached repair invoice) was involved in a Tesla recall earlier in 2023. I view this as a safety concern and am fortunate such an event occurred while parked in my garage and not while driving.
