Tesla owners are modifying their cars to be escapable if the car catches fire, because the doors stop working like normal and you need to rely on well-hidden mechanical overrides.

Which... feels pretty dangerous, like that's the worst possible time for the doors to stop working like normal.

This is only true of the model 3 and Y, and not all model years if the 3.

They’re describing older 3’s, x’s and s’s.

Also all rear doors are under carpet or behind panels. Better hope the driver is conscious.
