Somehow there are way too many Tesla owners who don't know about them. The back seat is another story. There IS a mechanical release under the rubber liner in the door pocket. You have to pull the liner out and pull on a steel cable to open it. Some people have cut holed in the liner and added little handles to get around this put it's still a huge oversight by Tesla IMO. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 8 months ago (2 children) Imagine trying to do that shit while on fire, and the car is upsidedown and full of smoke.. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago Exactly.
