The made-in-Germany Tesla Model Y owners could not find the emergency release as shown in the video and the car's manual. They shared pictures showing the door pocket liner without the access hatch to the emergency release system. To be sure, the Tesla Model Y owner's manual warns that "not all Model Y vehicles are equipped with a manual release for the rear doors."
I'm starting to think emergency hammers should be mandatory in EVs at this point.
Also, Chao is why you don't get in your car with a BAC around three times the legal limit. It's also amazing to me that no one in that crowd had the means to break a window, but I guess I just roll with a different crowd that doesn't include zero-skill CEOs.
If only cars came with a piece of metal that ended in a rounded tip, small enough to grip, but big enough to hit against a window. A shame. Well, buckle your seat bel... oh... Guess those are optional to these cars.
What? That's ridiculous, no one would do something like that, so I went and looked it up. Here's the Model 3's manual release lever, right next to the window switches, on the door.
I went ahead and checked a different model, the Tesla Y and.... oh.... [Oh dear: https://www.autoevolution.com/news/tesla-model-y-got-a-more-straightforward-emergency-door-release-still-not-good-enough-201427.html
At least they changed it.... https://www.autoevolution.com/news/tesla-changed-the-model-y-s-emergency-door-release-again-tough-luck-if-you-need-to-use-it-219273.html
Emphasis added, holy shit.
Wasn’t there a recent case of a woman drowning in a few feet of water in her tesla because none of the doors or windows could operate once it got wet?

Window breakers should be mandatory anyway for all cars. It's not like electric windows haven't been known to fail too.

But you repeat yourself
That was kind of the point of that comment.
