One is due to the carelessness of the driver. The other is due to a failure in the car.

You can't open the door if you don't have the key

You can't open the door if the battery is dead (or, presumably, the battery has removed by a would-be car thief).

I'm not sure why one of these is a "failure of the car" but not the other.

If the Tesla cars defaulted to "doors open" when the battery was dead/removed, people would be complaining about that.

In both cases, the end outcome is exactly the same: the window gets bashed out by the fire department.
