Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash

There are manual releases but they’re hidden. They need to be more obvious because these cars are rented to people and obviously the owners aren’t taking the time to figure out where they’re at.

I would also think just having secondary power packs in each door would help in the event power is cut to ensure the doors can continue to function for a few minutes while also a speaker could explain how to use the emergency release if none of the doors are working.

Or, how about this: it’s a door, have it work like every other car door for the last 70 years.

Redesigning stuff to make it “cool” and “futuristic” is fucking stupid and is clearly not safe. Doors have handles, the handles are pulled to open the door. Keep it simple.

The reason given for hiding them just makes that fact worse. It’s for “aesthetics”.

  In the future nobody reads “the design of everyday things” apparently

Eject the doors with explosives as soon as the vehicle velocity is zero and fuck everyone else. Tumbler style.

    Or at a red carpet premier: pull up, doors blast off, step out in style over the mangled bodies of the paparazzi…

Honestly Tesla should be sued over this

The front handles aren’t hidden. They’re so obvious everyone I take in my car tries to use them first if I don’t tell them.

Back doors is a whole other story.

  That’s if they have them. Apparently some models of the Y don’t come with manual back door releases.

    Thats what this means. The back seats are hit and miss depending on the vehicle.

    I thought that was more in reference to the release being hidden under a mat to access. The fact that ‘a whole other story’ could be misconstrued two ways I think just shows how bonkers this is 😂
