AI Summary

Tesla added a feature that lets drivers disengage a charging plug and drive away during an emergency. The change follows a mass shooting at an Idaho Supercharger in August that injured seven people and killed four. Previously, the plug locked the port and prevented the vehicle from moving while charging. This update allows rapid exit if a similar incident occurs.
