A white Tesla Model S driven by a thief stopped on its own when the battery fully depleted during a Los Angeles police chase. The criminal apparently didn’t realize he could have pulled over to recharge the supposedly fast getaway car.
An electric vehicle is only as capable as its remaining charge. The thief’s failure to manage the battery brought the chase to an anticlimactic end, a fitting reminder that even high-tech cars can betray those who misuse them.
