Tesla owners are modifying their cars to be escapable if the car catches fire, because the doors stop working like normal and you need to rely on well-hidden mechanical overrides.

Which… feels pretty dangerous, like that’s the worst possible time for the doors to stop working like normal.

    It’s probably easier to get one of those ceramic window breakers and get out that way. I’m pretty sure the rip cords are actually quite hard to pull.

      They use laminate glass on the side windows as well as windshield on some models for noise reduction. Traditional window breaking tools don’t work on them. It’s basically a tombmobile.
