Blue_Morpho comments on Buckle up!

The Model X had it under a speaker cover. The model 3 didn't have it listed in the user manual. Fans discovered under a rubber door pocket cover, you could remove a flushed mounted plastic tab and fish out a pull wire to open the door.

It wasn't until 2024 that Model 3's got a door release.

Idea: in case of emergency the user can download a 400 mb app and after login + otp verification can see where is the emergency door opening tab

Strange. Maybe it's a Europe thing, but my 2020(?) M3 has a little mechanical lever you can pull to open.

E: both front and back like nop'a 2018 model 3 in the response below

I think you are misremembering. I triple checked and there is nothing in the German Manual for rear door release in a 2020 Model 3.

Here is a German YouTuber showing how you can make your Tesla safer by adding a pull to the hidden door release.

In the front seats, right? Everyone (even I agree rightfully so) got mad about the rear passengers not having one.

My 2018 has them on the front and rear. I love that car. I wish Elon want a Nazi because I wouldn't have the shit EV I bought when my wife took over the Tesla.
