Matt Grigg, a local pub landlord, informed the media that the car still showed charge but refused to start. The obstruction caused significant delays throughout the day until the vehicle was eventually moved to his pub for charging.

This incident echoes similar Tesla breakdowns reported in the past, including a case in May when a Tesla vehicle broke down in a McDonald’s drive-thru in Ottawa, Canada and in September of the previous year, when a Tesla owner got locked out of his Model S after the battery died.
