You don’t need to pop the hood to jump the battery, there’s a manual latch on the front that works if it’s dead. This isn’t news it’s just clickbait Tesla hate.
The article itself says the owner tried to jump it several times before having to get it towed… like he would have for every other car brand.
No there isn't

I know how to use my car. That is not a "manual latch". It is exactly what I described in the comment you just replied to. Learn how to read.
