    Not if you lose a key, of course. But getting locked out over a mechanical failure that happens often (a dead battery) is newsworthy. This seems to be yet another serious design flaw.

      The list of cars you can’t open anymore once the battery dies is much longer than just “Tesla”. Some may have cumbersome workarounds (I’ve e heard some only have non-electric mechanism to open the trunk). Others require you to have a physical key that you normally don’t need and isn’t part of the everyday key (so it’s probably at home somewhere in a box, and this would’ve had the same result).
