Sounds like a design flaw in 2013 and 14 model years. Tesla owner says he’s locked out after battery died, replacement costs $26K
Mario Zelaya posted a video on TikTok saying his "piece of trash" Model S died and that the car is locked, preventing him from being able to get inside. The caption on the video reads: "$26K for a new battery. Locked out of car. Recalls are needed."
He said he purchased the car in 2013 but said models from that year and 2014 have issues with fluid from the air conditioning system leaking onto the battery.
He's Canadian, and has gotten Transport Canada involved. They are going to do an investigation, apparently.
He has some brutal things to say about the car and the car company.
And he isn't the only one who has a problem with Tesla.
Some Tesla owners have voiced concerns about the vehicle in recent months. A group of owners in Norway went on a hunger strike in August in an effort to get CEO Elon Musk’s attention about a long series of problems they claim to have with their vehicles.
