    Thats a good point. I guess with the doors the way that they are they’re technically always ‘locked’

    Although there’s still a physical lock solenoid built into the doors. You can hear it when you lock and unlock the doors from the inside.

    Regardless, its pretty rare that you’d be in a situation where the 12v battery was working fine to open the doors and died in the middle of your trip, causing this situation with a pet or a child inside.

      Indeed. It used to be more common. The traction battery charges the 12v while the car is moving. When parked, it will stop charging the 12v when the traction battery is below 25%. The cutoff used to be 50% be that was changed with an OTA patch.
