Me too!!!

how are you gonna get anywhere with a 1.2 lmao

Buy an Ev and start your own drama youtube channel.

It had been a test. That's why if he hadn't known done that, NOBODY would have known. I'd always bring something like a old-fashioned plain hammer or a some state-of-the-art device that acts like a seat cutter,and a hammer-like device that can bash in a window to get out. Especially if any driver gets into an auto accident,and can't get out. Or it malfunctions,for some reason and it's not even cold! And you don't have a cell phone,(you had forgotten it,and had been late for work) . And lost control of it. And went into a ravine. You have within seconds to cut the seat belt,and somehow get out of the car. Without a hammer,or a device called a hammerdex available on KZfaq, you'd be in big trouble. If you had a cell phone, you'd dial 911,or the equivalent emergency number on your cellphone in the United Kingdom. Or internationally. And what WOULD you do then? Or if any driver had felt I'll while driving,and lost control,that person has seconds to react. What WOULD you do?

Exactly. This is why I prefer the more mainstream vehicle manufacturers for EVs, instead of Tesla.

The lack of basic health & safety can't be an accident it has be premiditated 😢😧🫣 imagine how many boards & checks this will have to go true before it's signed off and approved just like the Sudden Death, blood clots experimental poisons, that's no uppppps 🙄

@@YourMomIsHere8008 This is a mainstream manufacturer!!! Porsche is a long established company with a reputation of their quality of engineering... yet this demonstrates a lack of the basic engineering process and governance.

@@YourMomIsHere8008 Porsche is a mainstream vehicle and this happened Evs are the issue

@@niceboy60 It can happen in many modern cars. The fact it’s an EV makes no difference.

It's scary 😨 imagine your in one that has an accident and can't get out and there's a 🔥, that is scary , you'd have thought Porsche German engineers would have put an override in the car , also why no manual wind down windows? As that way you could just wind down the window and jump out

Buy a classic MGA, Triumph, Sunbeam, Riley, Wolseley, .... and many more.

I’ve just looked on the Porsche forums - if Lee had just pulled the opening mechanism a fraction further it would have opened the door manually - another storm in a tea cup from our dear Lee 😂

@@jd3552 Rover 220Turbo most fun cheap you can have lol

Jumped into my 18yr old Rover 75 diesel Tourer after being away 3 weeks. Unlocked on the press of the button. Started 1st attempt. Drive Sheffield to Huthwaite Mon to Fri £35 to top up with diesel once a week. Rush hour traffic both ways. Think when it gets to 20yrs old it’ll be more economical to give the old a full overhaul at the garage & stick with the reliable old thing until I hang my keys up when I retire. Lee you’ve lost more on your EV in 2yrs than my old Rover has lost since 2005 when it was new.

I mean you watched him open the car mechanically with the key, and then posted that drivel. Jesus.

This isn't so much an EV issue, it's a modern car design issue where everything has to be electronic. I'm sure it's why we're seeing car fires on both ICE & EV as the electronics is now spread throughout the car and faults breed in complexity.

That Porsche vehicle may not had been a electric vehicle,but somehow,in some way,for some reason,that driver in *that* video.....got stuck! I never thought that vehicles that run as a e-hybrid EVER got into a situation like any electric vehicle that malfunctions. Or like any electric vehicle that doesn't malfunction,but unexpectedly RUNS OUT COMPLETELY OUT OF CHARGE !! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh NOOO!! So,what DO you do? I'd always bring an old-fashioned hammer or some state-of-the-art hammer-like device that has a feature that can also cut away the seat belt...and in case of an emergency,the driver of any electric vehicle can safely get out. If, somehow,that driver had forgotten to bring a cell phone with him/her,and can't call out! What if the stupid electric vehicle didn't have any battery power,and unexpectedly ran out of juice? And the driver and everyone else in that EV had gotten stranded? Right in the middle of a snowstorm? Or not in a snowstorm,but in very cold weather? And it had been raining? Windy. What DO you do,then? I'd always bring a emergency blanket,and/or thermal blankets, plenty of snacks,and a device that can also cut the seat belt,and break away the window,in case there's no one can help. And miles away from civilization... What DO you do,then?

You know,in rare cases, electric vehicles HAD issues with them heating up,and would be in danger of causing a very troubling situation. And then....??? That video had been a test. If he hadn't done it,NOBODY would had known anything about it. It's important for people to know of the dangers, shortcomings,and perils of owing any type of an electric vehicle. Always bring a old-fashioned hammer if somehow, things get a little dicey. Wouldn't there be a hidden latch somewhere on the drivers' side of the door? As indicated on the Tesla instruction manual? That somewhere that's obscure, there's a hidden latch where you'd have to pull forward the switch,push some button that's not labelled,and then pull BACK the darn thing,just to activate the manual override? I wonder if all electric vehicles have that available feature,just in case any electric vehicle malfunctions for WHATEVER REASON. Then that driver can safely be able to get out of the vehicle. If that doesn't work, there's always an old-fashioned hammer.

I don't understand, on electric cars, why does everything have to be operated by electricity, even the things like door catches that can be operated perfectly adequately by mechanics. I hate that, on my basic petrol hatchback, the tailgate is released electrically. I would prefer to keep my jump-starter in the boot, but if the battery goes flat.............!kzfaq.infogaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f61f.png

How about owners of cars learn how to use their car work, and all the features the car has and realise that they have to work on something like electricity (Just maybe). I have been to loads of places around the UK in my electric car with no issue at all. I was lucky that after 23,000 miles i got 4 new free tyres from a recall. Hopefully one day the 12v battery will get an upgrade maybe paired with a super capacitor to make sure the battery stays within a certain limit. The learning of driving a car should entail learning how the car works, then maybe things like this would not happen as often. Performing basic checks on a car maybe should be part of learning to drive one.

You can. This is something that is required by law I believe for just this occasion. There will be a manual release lever or mechanism in the door somewhere.

You die a very horrible death like the guy in America in his Tesla.

Wot luny bin wants a ev...

I agree, I'm keeping my 1993 Toyota Corolla - still going fine after 30 years. Really reliable cars!

They have a manual release inside

@@colinmorand129 Obviously not

@@captainpugwash3791 well unless you have read the manual it will tell you the door release from the inside is two stage, first stage is electronic and needs power, you then have to pull further and second stage is mechanical and lets you escape. Teslas have a secondary lever which makes it even more hidden.Thank you

I pulled it really hard, it did nothing! I'd have snapped it if I'd pulled any harder.

@@TheMacMaster what's more important to you Lee taking a loss on a car or your life this could happen get rid get a nice petrol motor.

This is truly scary, to be locked in your car. Complete nightmare. I'm never going in one of them traps. Lee, you need to sue the manifacture, you could of died bcs of this stupid ev

Yep guaranteed there will be a massive graveyard of EV's like in the irobot movie where all the old robots were taken to rust and fall apart!!

It will be a long time suffering in a locked EV car of your own making. Be educated, Aux deep cycle gell batteries are a flaw in the design of EV's Powering the electronics when car is not being driven. ie drain by central locking, car alarm, and and car computer. And eventual depletion of the Aux 12V deep cycle gell battery.

…probably waiting for 45 minutes for it to charge, are you??😂

Make sure the passenger door emergency release works... Tesla latches and locks are known to fail..... You may want to know ahead of time if you have a backup plan. You are enjoying the engineering of door releases that only TESLA and everyone else who ever built a car already had figured out. It seems some companies on the luxury end have added the luxury of no escape. They of course will claim it was done that way for safety and security.

Finally! SOMEBODY who certainly understood what the situation was. If he hadn't done what he had done in that video, NOBODY would know. Never thought that a vehicle that's a Porsche that runs on a e-hybrid. That's a Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-, Hybrid Sport Turismo! And as impressive that car was (or is,still),I had never thought a situation like that could ever happen! Yikes! I'd always bring an old-fashioned hammer or a device called hammerdex; (available on KZfaq. ) And also bring it with me - just in case SOMETHING does happen if any unfortunate driver gets locked out of their electric vehicle. For SOME reason. Why, somewhere,in the video, would it be digitally blurred out? Wouldn't want to piss off the car dealerships that had made the magnificent and spectacular vehicle, would they?😅😅😅. Anyway, it's worth noting that thanks to informative videos like this,we all now know what to expect if something like that DOES happen.

EXACTLY!!! Neither would my 1985 GMC pickup.

This is a serious safety issue. A car with this kind of fault, not being able to manually open the doors, should not have past the required safety tests. It's literally a death trap. Get yourself a window crushing device.

1960's

A very sad story. My sympathies to you. And thank you very much for your warning.

I’ve had two EV’s so can speak with some authority. They are really good. Better than ICE I’d say another 5-10 years and there will be nothing to complain about.

They said the same thing to Henry Ford and Herbert Austin. There was a war on motorists, 5mph speed limit (think Wales is draconian?) and a man with a red flag walking in front. No tarmac'ed roads, just rough tracks and no petrol stations. Rich men's toys. EVs are new tech. The current cars are like 405 line, 12" black and white TVs. Before you know it, the idea of anyone driving an ICE will be like using a wind up gramophone or long wave radio

I feel sorry for anyone who gets suckered into purchasing any car, especially new.

We feel sorry for you "unit volume of global EV sales is set to triple from 10.5 million in 2022 to over 31 million in 2027"

No one remembers those predictions because you just MADE THEM UP. 1960's Milford Haven was building a huge oil terminal and changing its entire economy from fishing to oil. Many of my relatives there changed their jobs and careers. Not something a town would embark on if oil was running out with a few years. A lie. 1970's no one predicted an ice age. No one. In fact, over a century ago, the rise in global temperature was predicted. The ozone layer was saved by the world-wide ban on CFCs. Admittedly (and scientists readily acknowledge this) no one knew the ozone layer would regenerate so quickly. 2000 - again, no serious scientist predicted this. Another lie. People can research this. They are not as stupid as you climate deniers like to pretend

The coming ice age most certainly was predicted in the 1970s!@@neilgodwin6531

And yet still millions of muppets out there believing all the fearmongering, not realising that is how men control mass populations by offering shitty protection to bullshit monsters.

​@@neilgodwin6531they are not made up. His list of doom predictions is actually far from complete. there are many many more pushed by western governments. caps would also have melted in 2008, didnt happen so it was 2016. certain islands in the pacific would be gone by 2020, they become bigger, etc. etc. etc. there are over 30 of them pushed by UN and governments in de past 40 years. NONE happened.

Yes I heard this as well. Apparently the brakes failed at 30mph and he couldn't switch the car off or stop. Lol I'll stick to garlic bread as the future 😊

There is supposed to be I pulled really hard and it didn't work. Chipped the door handle u pulled so hard.

Good lord,,, the car's a menace !!@@TheMacMaster

What it does when you turn your engine off it stops generating didn't you know that?

A lot of tech geeks have no common sense. It's an observable pattern.

This is a clear example of over engineering a simple solution.

I had the same experience...😱

@alexvagias5295 It proves the mfrs don't give two shites about their customers.

Well of course they did, that's how he could open it with the key.

@@oldgit15 I'm talking from the inside. My last car (Oldsmobile) had electric door locks. When I wanted to get out, all I had to do was pull the handle-mechanical linkage.

You can open it from inside you pull the handle further back in this case and then it actually pulls the cable in the car.

Are you saying that he lied just for clicks ?@@djgoode

Name your 'friend' as never heard of this.. Plus the manual release is there RTFM

Have respect for the dead...@@richardbartlett6932

​@@seaplaneguy1There's still a manual door release.

Just because you don't understand how an EV works, doesn't mean they need to be banned. I am on my second EV with more than 200,000 km under my belt and have never had a problem. Ever. Most reliable car I've ever owned in 30+ years of car ownership.

@@YourMomIsHere8008 course it is

Ignoring the smoke aspect, people stuck inside a vehicle is an emergency. Call the fire brigade. Scary thoughts.

Totally agree, it's why I don't even use them for local taxi journeys.

Interesting logic.

What happens with ICE when the 12V battery goes flat? I'm not interested in all the what can be done, same applies to an EV and yes there is a manual door release. Ah ICE car has to run the engine to drive the alternator so that's the same in effect. Bump start? Good luck with an automatic.

Nor that there is a manual door release so he wasn't really stuck either

Manual door release didn't work smart Alec.

Correct as you can't open the bonnet as its also electric, you need a key to get into the car then connect 12 volt power through the OBD2 connector to be able to open the bonnet to connect a charger to the 12volt battery long enough to get the 12volt system up and running. Then you can start the car! what a joke as the EV battery pack is fine but the car isn't designed to also be a basic 12 volt battery tender.

Almost right, but plan C should be plan A.
