- A TikToker says she got stuck in her Tesla for 40 minutes during a software update.
- Her car was parked in the sun, and during the update she says the temperature inside reached 115°F.
- The door has a manual release, but the user guide says opening it during an update can damage the vehicle.
The TikToker, whose screen name is Brianna Janel, said in a series of videos that she expected the software update to last 24 minutes, according to a message displayed on the internal screen in the vehicle — long enough for her to finish a work call while she waited for her Chick-fil-A order to be ready — but she was still locked inside by the time her call had finished.
