TechTesla now lets drivers drive away mid-charge in an emergency

Tesla has added an “emergency drive away” feature that lets drivers override the charging lock and leave while the cable remains attached. The handle will break away, potentially damaging both the car and charger. The feature is currently available only in the US and follows a shooting at an Idaho Supercharger that killed four people and wounded seven.
