Tesla has introduced an emergency feature that lets drivers drive away from a Supercharger without unplugging the cable, following a fatal shooting at a charging station. French tech outlet Numerama reports that the update allows vehicles to release the connector automatically in urgent situations, sparing drivers from fumbling with the plug while trying to flee danger. The move is being discussed as a rare case of a carmaker adapting charging hardware to personal safety concerns.
Why now: A deadly shooting at a charging station prompted Tesla to add the safety feature, sparking debate about security at Superchargers.
