In case you thought cars would become safer as technology developed… rest assured, Tesla is finding newer and ever-dumber ways to make their cars dangerous to occupants (and others).
TL;DR: If you’re in a Tesla and it loses power (like in a fire), the only way to open the doors is often an unlabeled wire behind either two panels or a speaker grill. Tesla owners are DIYing janky rip cords to make that wire easier to pull to escape.
I think they were referring to electric windows, but it is ambiguous in context.
Aw lord, you’re right. I didn’t read that original comment close enough, thought they were talking about the door releases. Thanks for the heads up.
