Tesla offers manual door releases for situations with depleted power, but Janel opted to wait, fearing potential damage to her car.

Are Teslas made from tracing paper? How would manually opening the door damage her car?

Normally, when you want to open the door, you push the door button, the door window drops and opens an inch or so, clearing to door seals. The emergency door releases force the windows through the door seals without the window drop. If you do that too much, you'll damage the door seals. If you do it rarely, it doesn't matter.

Well that's just shitty car design. Guess that's what you get when you have a bunch of software and computer engineers try to make a car.
