Funnily enough the first comment in the article is "oh yeah, if you're in Tesla good fucking luck, their doors fail and the releases are incredibly hard to find in emergency"

The front ones seem easy enough, the rear ones are a lot harder

whoa.

> Not all Model Y vehicles are equipped with a manual release for the rear doors.

How is that even allowed?

The front ones vary and certain models are atrociously designed. If you get in an accident and have a concussion, and adrenaline, add a 10x difficulty factor

This is almost certainly what killed those kids in piedmont

I didn't find them hard to find (in the front seat). When I first got my car it kept complaining because I instinctively reached for that lever instead of the button. The computer claimed I could break the window if I kept using the manual lever, and I had to figure out where the button was.

Not saying the car is great, just that I found the door lever easily. I'd still rather have real controls (and a real sensor) for the wipers and the reliance on software and software updates makes me very nervous. You can't even open the glove box without a voice command or touch screen (as far as I can tell).

Same. I’ve only ridden in one, but the owner wasn’t super happy when I instinctively pulled the manual lever to open the door.
