Some Tesla owners are buying tools to free themselves from their cars in emergencies because of concerns over malfunctioning doors on the electric vehicles.
In one extreme example, the son of Tesla owner Erin Geter became trapped inside her vehicle. The car's electric doors lost power, preventing Geter from freeing her child, Bloomberg reports. A few weeks after that, Geter bought a Honda to replace her Tesla. Her new CR-V has typical door handles rather than Tesla's touch-sensitive flush handles.
