Most cars automatically lock the door while driving, so I don't see how this is any different than that? The first responders should have just broken the glass...

The article seems to say the “first responder” was just a cop. I would have guessed a fireman would have broken the glass to extricate the man. Can’t really see a cop doing that.

It this happened with a toyota, mazda, chrysler, ford, honda, daihatsu, audi, hyundai it wouldn't be mentioned by the news media. But as a tesla is involved somehow this becomes front page news. No agendas or bias being pushed here at all .
