Tesla is a hype company more than a car company. Also, me personally, I consider them all rolling coffins.

They’re some of the safest cars ever made, unless you drive them into a tree at 110mph.

Unless you need to leave the rear seats when the electronic door openers don't work anymore. It's possible the parent was referring to that, which is to be fair not just a Tesla issue, but Tesla is probably the most extreme example.

Parent commenter is a new account that is seemingly only Elon bashing to the point of now clearly making stuff up. I see this a lot anywhere online.
