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.
Or…and hear me out…
Mahbe just don’t buy Teslas?
Depends… how well do you like your back-seat passengers?
I take Uber, so I’d appreciate any of my driver’s doing this. Please like me!
