Children in hot cars can become critically endangered in minutes. — The New York Times
A 20-month old girl in Arizona was recently locked inside a Tesla Model Y after the car’s battery died, creating a “life threatening situation” in which firefighters had to break open the door with an axe to rescue her.
Renee Sanchez, the girl’s grandmother, loaded the girl into her car seat for a trip to the Phoenix Zoo. After she closed the rear door, though, Sanchez went around to the front of her car only to find the door wouldn’t open: The car was dead.
