How nice of Elon to make the car more affordable by removing the ability to open your door with your key. Progress! He's so smart, I just love him so.

Tesla didn’t respond to a request for comment; it has dissolved its press office.
I guess that's one way to deal with issues.
Not an Elon fan, but this kind of story hurts the public perception of EVs which bothers me.
This is not unique to Teslas or even EVs.
You can get stuck in a stock Corvette since 2005
That was after 3 seconds of googling. There are plenty of cars that are difficult to escape or enter with a dead battery. Some consider electronic door controls as a luxury feature. They will fail to function with no power. Hate them if you like.
For Teslas in particular, there is a mechanical latch for the doors on the inside. Learn where they are. On the outside, there are terminals near the tow hook that when given 9V will pop the frunk. Then you can access the 12V battery to jump it.
