    Also, this is similar to a use case that Telsa likes to promote. They allow you to leave the climate on while the car is locked.

    This makes me never want to trust the dog and camp modes they advertise.

      In this specific example, I believe the driver buckled the child, closed the door, then was unable to open any door before starting the vehicle. Is it possible to either start the vehicle or at least turn on the climate control from outside? If not, this was a horribly dangerous situation.

        Yeah, this wasn’t even intentional. The car just shit out while she was getting the car situated. Very scary.

        Not without the 12V. I’m pretty sure most of the internal electronics are dependent on that working. There’s an access port so you can “jump” the 12V with another car, which I think would then allow you to open the door though.
