Broken Key Fob And No Cellular Service Keeps ‘Always Sunny’ Actor’s Tesla Stuck In A Garage

Actor Glenn Howerton, famous for his roles in A.P. Bio and ‘It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia,’ is not best pleased with his Tesla nor the company’s efforts to help. According to Howerton, after his Tesla’s keyfob broke, he chose to use his phone to lock the vehicle. However, that choice became a problem when the actor decided to park it at the bottom of a parking garage which had no cell reception, as both the phone and the car must have signal to work. There were more issues too, with the actor eventually having to call a special tow truck to remove the vehicle. CarScoops has reached out to Tesla for more info.

Want A GR Corolla MORIZO In Canada? You Have To Apply And Convince Toyota You’re Socially Worthy

While in the US, markups may prove to be prohibitive when trying to obtain one of the limited GR Corolla MORIZO Editions, over in Canada, there’s a different kind of hurdle to overcome.
