      I haven’t has a car with mechanical locks in a long time. I’ve also not had a battery so dead the locks didn’t work.

          On the mach E, my understanding is there’s a panel where you hook up a jump box that supplies power to those circuits to allow you to use your key fob to open the door. But there’s no bladed key to manually unlock the car. So technically there’s a failsafe but it’s not ideal. And I agree it ought not be allowed.

            how the fuck are you going to put power into the thing if you don’t have a charged battery

            what the fuck is wrong with putting a door handle somewhere
