An American TikToker posted online the ordeal she experienced in the Tesla. While launching the update of her electric car, the young woman was stuck inside for several tens of minutes even though it was very hot.

Her name is Brianna, she is from California and shares a lot of things on TikTok. The young girl, who owns a Tesla, launched an update of her electric vehicle but did not think she would live in hell. As can be seen in her video posted online and viewed more than 21 million times, Brianna stayed inside for a while while the temperature was very high, indicating the Parisian.

"I'm starting to freak out a little"

In total, the young woman was stuck in her car for almost forty minutes even though she had just started an update which was supposed to last barely half that.

But quickly, the temperature and pressure rose. "I'm starting to freak out a little. I'm just stuck here roasting like a chicken, and dripping with sweat", she says in the video posted online. She specifies that the thermometer showed more than 46 °C.

@brianna__janel Note to self don’t update your car when you’re in it. #teslatok #tesla ♬ original sound – brianna | 2025 FLANGE

No functionality on board the Tesla was available. However, the TikToker could open the door manually but she decided not to do so because she had "read on Google that this could damage the vehicle".

Luckily for her, more fear than harm and she was able to put an end to this situation after forty minutes. “I've never felt better, but I just need a good shower,” she joked. But Internet users did not fail to react to this technical problem encountered.

@brianna__janel Replying to @Ma Qing guyssss i know it wasn’t my best moment. Plz be kind ?? #teslatok #tesla ♬ original sound – brianna | 2025 FLANGE

Brianna had to explain herself in a second video. "I've had a Tesla for almost six years, I know how to use it, but this was the first time I did an update while staying inside the car. Please don't blame Tesla, it’s a good vehicle. Don't update while you're inside, she advised.
