Like Steve McQueen, all that award-winning musician Sheryl Crow needed was a fast machine to escape the parking lot where she was stuck desperately asking Twitter for help because her Tesla\u2019s screen wouldn\u2019t turn on.<\/p>\n
While the US singer-songwriter might like Chevrolet, she apparently owns a Tesla, as she let her 319,000 Twitter followers know Wednesday when she couldn\u2019t get the car\u2019s dashboard screen to boot. The call for help included the hashtag #stuckinaparkinglot indicating she had been left stranded\u2026 hopefully she had no other plans.<\/p>\n
It seems that she has someone to blame for the breakdown, asking her audience if she could get a refund on the much hyped electric vehicle. While a couple of people did offer advice on getting the monitor to reset, she was mostly met with a barrage of puns, song references and light-hearted mockery over her predicament.<\/p>\n
\nEveryday is a winding road… or not.<\/p>\n

Others responded with some more practical, if snide, advice\u2026 although a few of the \u201csolutions<\/em>\u201d involved abandoning the $75,000 automobile.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n \nCall Roadside Assistance – I’d help you get some immediate help, but I don’t know where ‘there’ is …<\/p>\n

And, as you might expect, the comments also had a number of trolls, ever ready to find the humor in the misfortunes of their fellow man:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n \nhave you tried getting out and getting back in again?<\/p>\n

Eventually, Tesla CEO Elon Musk himself stepped in, tweeting the pop star helpful instructions which solved the issue and got her back on the day\u2019s winding roads.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n \nChange your screen preference from night mode to auto<\/p>\n

The singer took the comments in her stride, tweeting thanks to those who offered her long-distance roadside assistance, and even complimenting the \u201ccreativity<\/em>\u201d of the responses.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n \nProblem solved! LOVED all of your creative responses. Best one was suggesting my kids take a look… which would have been helpful since my kid was the one who changed the settings \/ caused it to go black in the first place! I knew I should have interrupted school…<\/p>\n

Elon Musk\u2019s premier electric car has been met with a series of high-profile PR nightmares this month. Just a few days ago, celebrity jeweler Ben Baller posted on instagram from inside his Tesla model X which he couldn\u2019t <\/a>seem to get out of. Like Sheryl Crow, he mentioned that a refund might be in order.<\/p>\n
