    The title made it sound like a full lock-in. But one survived.

    Harper grabbed a bar from his truck and handed it to another bystander, who managed to break the back window and pull the young woman to safety.

    Tesla has faced criticism in the past for the design of its manual release levers, which are considered poorly designed and unintuitively placed.

      Idk what the exact definition of a full lock in is, but if you have to break a window to get someone out I’d think it still qualifies since the locks were all engaged.
