Tesla has released a new software feature called Emergency Drive Away that lets drivers shift into Drive and pull away while still connected to a Supercharger. Activating it requires holding the brake and tapping an on-screen confirmation, which warns of potential damage to the vehicle and charging station. The feature currently works only at US Superchargers and requires the latest software update, excluding pre-2021 Model S and X vehicles.

Tesla rolled out an 'emergency drive away' feature that lets drivers shift into drive and pull away from a charger while the cable is still attached, overriding the normal charging lock. The cable breaks away and falls to the ground, causing some damage to both the car and the charging handle, and the feature triggers a confirmation alert before activating. It is currently available only in the US.

Away has launched its Series 3 Classic and Flex luggage lines, keeping the familiar exterior shell but reworking the wheels and telescoping handle. The new WhisperGlide 360 wheels add an extra ball bearing and improved threading for quieter rolling, while a StopLock Brakes system—borrowed from Away's TopSide line—lets users lock the wheels in place, even on inclines, via a hidden switch. CEO Jen Rubio's team member Amidi says the battery option, dropped since 2023, remains absent, and the launch was delayed until the product met internal testing standards.
