I heard Teslas are supposed to have manual release latches inside.

In any case, doors should always be manual anyway. This isn't the first time this happened and I'm surprised there isn't a regulation for this yet.

They do have manual release latches, but if you have never used them they might be hard to find. Especially in the panic of a burning car.

Really vehicle electronic doors should operate the same way they (usually?) do in buildings - in case of power loss they default to unlatched.

The article says that some Model Ys don't have a manual release on the rear doors. Can't imagine how that passes any country's safety standards.

Yikes, that is wildly irresponsible
