The Tesla owner said getting stuck in his driveway was “annoying as hell,” and he tried everything from hosing the car down to jumping the battery.

This happened to James May after he left his car sitting for a bit of time. It was a huge pain in the ass to fix it

Happens to gas cars too. Jump it or get it serviced. Not like Teslas are unique in this

I think it’s the fact that you can’t really open the car or the hood when that happens. If my Hyundai battery dies, I open the car door, the hood, and just replace the battery.

Well, I can do that on my Tesla too. You just have to know what to do.

And there are other gas cars which are fully electric too. So if it’s locked, you would have similar issues.

I know it’s not what you meant, but I giggled at the thought of James May in Texas with a big cowboy hat saying “oh cock”
