A Tesla owner was left horrified after she got stuck in her Tesla when she tried to update the car's system in a Chic-Fil-A parking lot.

Brianna Janel expected the software update to take 24 minutes but she was trapped inside her vehicle in Costa Mesa, California for close to 40 minutes last month.

She complained it was 103 degrees in the Tesla and was concerned she might run out of air as she was unable to roll down the windows.

Janel posted a video of her ordeal on TikTok where it has been viewed almost 30 million times.

Tesla does have manual door releases which are designed to be used when the vehicle has no power but she decided to wait in case she damaged her car.
