    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.

  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.

  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

  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.

    If I remember right, it damages the car to use the manual door override.

      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.

  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!

  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.
