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.

    They didn’t need to tell me to have fun - I was having a fucking BLAST! I had that young-person invincibility thing going on.

    Now, medical calls, those were a whole different deal. And unfortunately that was probably 95% of my calls, I had the EMT-B cert and most the other volunteers didn’t XD

      Traumas are cool, but medicals are the true challenge to your skills. They can be intricate puzzles that can test you to the brink.
