Dennis Hegstad said his Model 3 was stuck in his driveway after its 12-volt battery died.
The Tesla owner attributes the issue to the impact of the Texas summer heat on the battery.
A Tesla owner said he was locked out of his Model 3 in his driveway after the 12-volt battery, which powers the car's smaller functions including windows and doors, died last week amid the Texas summer heat.
Hegstad is not the first Tesla owner to report issues with getting into his EV.
Last year, a Tesla owner went viral on TikTok after he said he was locked out of his Model S after the lithium-ion battery died.
