When it is truly a life or death situation, who cares about charging inlet or cable? You only need to be able to drive away. Grab a $0.25 12V relay. Install a panic button on yr dash (or re-use the 4-way flasher button) that will result in the relay interrupting the Proximity signal, or the Pilot.

No, if you put enough force on the latch that could remove the connector, it will prevent the latch motor from retracting. It's a tiny motor with a current limit. On Thu, Jul 11, 2024 at 8:05 PM Lawrence Rhodes via EV wrote: > > https://ottosteer.com/product/ottoeject-tesla-model-3-7-emergency
