The manual door release is so hard to find that most time, passengers not knowing Tesla cars use them.
If you can’t find the door release, maybe you are too dumb to drive a 2 tons car with other humans.
Ah yes, if I can’t get out of a car, my first thought would be to dismantle the speaker grille.
What the actual fuck. Why would a door handle be so god damned difficult?
The Model Y has it hidden too: the back (you know, where small children are likely to be) has its manual release under the floor mat. And the exterior door handles need power to pop out, obviously, since they’re flush with the door normally. So if you have power out, and there are kids in the back with extreme heat or a fire or something, good fucking luck.
How on Earth did the NHTSA let this shit happen?

It’s not hidden though. Everyone who has sat in my model 3 for the first time has always accidentally used the manual release when getting out. It’s weird people would buy a vehicle and not educate themselves on it. I’ve never bought a car without spending lots of time researching.
The issue is not the front doors but rather the rear doors. I own a Model Y and the manual rear door release is hidden to the point where it may as well not exist. There is a 0% chance someone unfamiliar with a Tesla would know to look there especially in an emergency.
I generally really like the Model Y but this is one thing that is always in the back of my mind.
Fair that you absolutely should research, but having to disassemble my door to get to the manual release isn’t something I’d think to look up. It’d just be luck if I happened to come across that in research.
Same here. The normal button is the hidden feature that I have to teach passengers to use.
The release on the front doors doesn’t look like a release —but at least you can use it readily.
The release on the back doors is hidden behind a hard to remove cover.
This is the anti musk circlejerk, I’ve seen countless articles like this being posted here, and the cohort of brainless haters always follow.
I have a Tesla, not because I like musk (dude is human garbage), but because I like the car. Only a moron wouldn’t be able to find the manual door unlock. At this point this is either trolling or natural selection.
Funny how projection works.
No one is blaming musk directly.
However, you are one-handedly performing a pro musk circle jerk.
You’re just bullying dissent, just shows how unreasonable your positions are.
