  Not all Model Y vehicles are equipped with a manual release for the rear doors.

  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.

  It’s not like I’ve got a horse in this race.

  Same, except there’s that whole “forward the cost to the consumer” thing that business tends to do. Especially when such rules apply to everyone, so there’s no competitive disadvantage in doing so.

  That’s where I draw the line.

  Normal spelunking, minimal vertical work, the occasional belly crawl no smaller than a manhole. That’s actually a pretty good time. You get wet, dirty, have a few laughs with your friends, and then shake it off with some beers back at the campsite. No need to go aggressive with ridiculously tight crawls and/or 100’s of feet of vertical work, etc.

  Cave diving? Let’s take an activity where it’s very easy to loose track of time, and add SCUBA which requires time management down to the minute for your health and survival. Nevermind getting lost, disoriented, or wedged underwater somewhere. I get that this is very intrepid stuff, and the very distant corners of cave systems are being explored this way. But it’s a big no for me; the risk does not justify the reward, IMO.
