    I mean I like bashing on Tesla as much as the next guy, but any car can end up like this regardless of price. They probably bumped into something that broke the locking mechanism and this is probably just a temporary solution until they get it replaced.

      Breaking the locking mechanism while doing no damage to the plastic fender is an amazing feat.

        Also, there’s usually a 2nd safety mechanism that prevents it from popping up.

      how do you bump it into something enough to break the latch without messing up bumper, number plate and bonnet? all of it looks intact

        It was just an example. There are a thousand other ways to break the latch without messing up the rest of the car
