To get in from outside obviously needs the vehicle to unlock, so it has to be jump started.

and how do you get to the battery to do that if you can't get inside?

There's a panel that can be popped out to open the hood with a 12V power supply: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-34181E3A-B4A7-4658-906A-38C6647B5664.html

Well at least there's a way in... Lot's of trouble could be save by simply having a mechanical key.
