This is what it says on their website. Hope you've got the link handy if you're in a crash, and also that you're not in one that doesn't have this...
make everything electronic because Elon thinks it is super cool
put very inefficiently placed manual overrides because it was a bad idea
I think I see a problem.
Also: that's waaaay too many steps for an emergency. Imagine trying to dismantle the door trim when you have a concussion.
Are you kidding meeeee
Look it's very simple if you get in a crash and are on fire.
Stop. Drop. Roll. Remove the mat from the bottom of the rear door pocket. Press the red tab to remove the access door. Pull the mechanical release cable forward. Remember that not all Model Y vehicles are equipped with a manual release for the rear doors. Die.
Rolls right off the tongue. If you're still in trouble call 0118 999 88199 9119 725 3.
For english press 1. Your call will be answered in the order it was received.
For regicide, press 3
To return to the main menu, press all of the buttons on your keypad simultaneously.
Remember: To speed up, increase your speed. To decrease your speed, slow down.
Door handles are ugly though.
Worth a few lives to get them out of the way.
This is some "Headphone jacks are ugly" logic here.
No, this is so much worse. Enjoyment function vs aesthetic is a reasonable trade off. Emergency egress vs aesthetic is an insane trade off
And don't you know how many cents a door handle costs? Christ, we're not made of money.
"Expensive" is the real issue for Tesla. That's a couple dollars that can go into Elon's pockets.
This is what it looks like when they're legally forced to do something, but still don't want to do it, and their customers are idiots who can afford to pay for redundant features.
So you know, goverment inefficiency. /s
I hear the new guy in charge of that is a genius!
Realistically they should show the owners at the dealership and make sure they open it several times before taking it off the lot then reinforce it in software and make them release it once a month.
Or you know.. just make it mechanical
If I remember right, it damages the car to use the manual door override.
Lawl of course it does.
It used to not lower the window and could damage the window.
Shortly after the 3 was released it was changed. When there is power it lowers the window now.
But if there is no power, it can't lower the window and it may break.
And what about the passengers? Is the owner going to be required to give an airline attendant “emergency exits are located here” safety speech every time someone hops in the car with them? Can we actually trust them to do so?
Also, not all models have mechanical release mechanisms in the rear doors. There are models where it is 100% possible to just be locked in the back seat. And when you only have ~15 seconds to escape before the lithium flames+smoke cook you, you’re not going to be able to crawl to the front.
Well fuck Tesla. This should be illegal.
It's so easy! When you get in a crash are panicking and disoriented, who needs a simple quick lever that's there at all times??? Simply follow these complicated 3 steps to extract yourself from the burning vehicle!
*not available on all models.
Link?

Or they could try a front door, which is much more straightforward
What important living beings go in the back anyway? It's usually just babies, pets, and children.
Man, I bet those dead kids in the back seat feel so stupid now.
They should've just read the owners manual (and hoped their car was equipped with an emergency release) not my fault they're lazy.
