This comes amid ongoing debates on whether Tesla has sufficient emergency safety features.

A 20-month-old girl’s life was recently in jeopardy when she was locked inside a Tesla Model Y, after the car’s battery died without warning in the middle of an ongoing Arizona heatwave.

Ms Sanchez recalled the firefighters saying upon arriving at the scene: “‘It’s a Tesla. We can’t get in these cars.’New York-based news outlet The Verge reported that a Tesla Model Y without power can be opened from inside the vehicle through a latch which opens the front door, as well as a cable to access the back door.

While Ms Sanchez’s granddaughter came out of the incident unscathed, she said the girl was very scared and started crying during the commotion. The Tesla service department has confirmed that Ms Sanchez had not received any warnings, US media reported. Tesla did not respond to further media queries.
