I don’t understand how car manufacturers can do this. Why even put someone in the spot to pull an emergency release for something as stupid as a battery failure. GM has been doing this for many many years on their vehicles. Dumb.
Every Ford I’ve ever owned opens when you pull the handle regardless of it’s locked or not.
What would happen if the battery shorts due to being submerged in water? It becomes a certain death trap. What are they thinking?
