    The funny part is, the doors have a manual release on the inside, Tesla owners are just too dumb to read the user manual.

    The not funny part is, the ones in the back are deep inside the bottom of the door, there’s no possible way a child in a car seat could open the back door in an emergency.

      Is this a joke? Who is this for? The same people who live in the resident evil house?

      Children are normally in the back of a vehicle, please tell us the secret door with a fucking rip cord in it is somehow normal and the cooked children where clearly a “skill issue”.

        Hey, I just thought of a brilliant idea. Instead of sticking that under a mat under all the other shit that’s probably stored in the storage pocket, maybe they could put it somewhere more easily accessible, like above the door pocket entirely. And instead of a steel cable to pull, maybe they could use some sort of lever that pulls the cable without needing to see it. And since that is so easy to access, the normal way of opening the door that requires power becomes redundant and could be removed to save costs.

        Oh but the electronic opener also lowers the window slightly otherwise it’ll break because the window makes a part of the seal and they couldn’t design it in a way that would work with the normal window position? Why would you do that? So there’s a chance that opening the door in winter will smash the window because sometimes those mechanisms freeze in the cold? Or do they constantly run heaters to avoid this?

          It would never catch on, I mean think of how ugly it would look.

          Also that level of over engineering with the windows would make a German blush, just peak backwards.

      I have to say I am sick of having to give a safety briefing to passengers when they get a ride.

      “If we crash and burn, the manual release is behind there” points

      Why didnt they just put regular bloody handles on!?

      Chevrolet had the same problem. Boomers baked to death in their Corvettes because the battery died.
