The owner of a Tesla Model Y is alleging that his car ordered him to pull over on the side of the road before it shut down and trapped him inside.
The driver, a British YouTuber identified as Tom Exton, said the incident occurred Thursday while he was driving the Model Y. He said he had owned it for only five days at the time.The car had ordered him to pull over because it was in the process of"shutting down" and the Tesla tapped him inside, said Exton, a car collector.
Safe to say horror stories of @Tesla cars being appalling seem true. Brand new fully charged car just cut out on the motorway. Had to use emergency door release to get out, which somehow broke the drivers window.He had only driven the car, which had shown an almost full charge, for 15 minutes before the incident, he said.
Just relieved gf/dogs are not with me. In minus 3, middle of nowhere. Been 2 hours so far waiting for AA.
