You don’t need to pop the hood to jump the battery, there’s a manual latch on the front that works if it’s dead. This isn’t news it’s just clickbait Tesla hate.

The article itself says the owner tried to jump it several times before having to get it towed… like he would have for every other car brand.

No there isn't

  • A Tesla owner

There are wires that hang out of the left tow hook you can use to pop the electronic latch but you need another battery to do that.
