This is really pretty amazing how poorly designed the Tesla doors are, where if the power fails (like in a crash or a fire), you might need to remove the speaker grill or two separate panels to get to the emergency mechanical door release.

    Staggering incompetence in the design. Just absolutely antagonistic disregard for the lives of the back seat passengers.

    And this is from a company that bills themselves as Apple-style design geniuses! Like, Christ, make doors that open, THEN break out the black turtlenecks.

    Elon can suck my scrote... I bought an early Y.

    There's already an emergency release on the door. It's a physical lever.

    "So now that the doors can't open we should reinforce the windows to be slightly bullet proof so firefighters and bystanders can't get in and you can't get out." Tesla design team
