Woman Stuck in Tesla For 40 Minutes With 115 Degrees Temperature During Vehicle Update

A Tesla owner encountered a stressful experience after being stuck in her Tesla when she tried to update the car's system in a Chick-fil-A parking lot.
Brianna Janel anticipated the software update to take only 24 minutes, but she found herself trapped inside her vehicle in Costa Mesa, California, for nearly 40 minutes. Janel reported sweltering temperatures inside the Tesla, reaching 103 degrees.
Understandably, she grew anxious about running out of air as the windows wouldn't roll down. Janel documented her ordeal in a TikTok video, which has since garnered nearly 30 million views.
Tesla offers manual door releases for situations with depleted power, but Janel opted to wait, fearing potential damage to her car. "Inside my car, it's 103 degrees, so I'm slightly freaking out. I hope I don't run out of air," Janel said.
"I can't open up the doors or the windows otherwise I could potentially damage my car, so I'm just stuck in here roasting like a frickin chicken dripping sweat," she added. The car's screen displayed a message informing Janel that driving and charging were suspended for the duration of the update.

Ah yes dying is so much better than damaging your car… but really. The manual door release can only damage it if you close it after manually opening it. If you left the door open after getting out you could close it again when the update finished and the car resumed normal function

She probably bought the Tesla to stop global warming .

A car automatically locking itself from the inside may be the dumbest feature of any product ever.

And when I’m potentially facing death I know the first thing I do is pull out my phone and start recording to post on social media.
The REALITY she was never actually in any real danger, but wanted to put herself in such solely for Tik-Tok/“victim” cred.

New headline idea:
"Dumb Bitch Sits in Hot Car"

Tesla should probably demand a correction, what an amazingly dumb write up. At no point was she stuck in a vehicle.

I love my low tech 24yo SUV.

Of course it’s some numbnuts in California. Would have bet my life.

Let’s see…get out of my malfunctioning car with a minimal risk of damage…or suffocate.
Gee that’s a real tough one.

She dumb and Darwin would be proud. They have a physical escape handle regardless of power.

I’m pretty sure she admitted she wasn’t trapped. She was only “stuck” because she was concerned opening the doors might mess up the software update…which has far worse consequence than heat stroke.

It wasn't even malfunctioning the internet connection was just slower than the initial estimate.
