I hate to be the voice of reason here, but if you get inside a powerful device to pilot it you should at minimum read the directions first.

I bought a new car recently, and I looked up how to get in, open the hood and jump start it if it has a dead battery, how to get in and start it with a dead keyfob, etc before I ever took delivery.

A bit of knowledge turns a major problem into a 5 minute problem. That said, it sounds like following the directions and using the manual release didn't work very well.

Every single one of these cars that has a stupid electronic poppwe always has a manual override if the battery dies. It's been like that for literally decades and I wouldn't be surprised if it is mandated by law.
