Reddit user MagnetBane posted a frightening picture on her pup locked inside of his Tesla for what she said was nine hours.

The user said that Tesla couldn't get in contact with the car to open the vehicle remotely but the vehicle took itself offline. The user eventually took a crowbar to the window to break it, but couldn't get through after multiple tries.
Eventually the vehicle driver was able to break a small back window that the dog was not able to fit through. The police were able to pry the door open, ending the 15 hour ordeal.

This wasn't the first time this user has had issues with her 2016 Model X. Two months earlier she made a Reddit post saying that he'd been locked out of his car.
"Turns out it happens when I drive near a Starbucks and my car tries to connect to the Wi-Fi," she said at the time.
"I haven’t had any problems using the app (unless I didn’t have signal) until today. I have signal, am in the middle of town and all of a sudden the car wouldn’t start. Tried getting out to see if maybe it needed to unlock and then start. Now I’m locked out."
Last year, Tesla issued a recall for nearly 1.1 million cars due to a problem with the vehicles' power windows.
