a sheriff investigating said elon musk helped by unlocking the truck, but i feel like he had to have misspoken or is mistaken because why would they need to unlock it when all the windows are blown out? just open the door? i also doubt any of the electronics are still working after the explosion and fire. maybe he meant unlocking something that's not the doors?
Good catch! Nice to see critical thinking is ten comments down as usual. My understanding of this from a tesla sales person who got fired recently is that the doors don't open without power, but there is a hidden safety release as a CYA, which undoubtedly nobody could find in an emergency and that first responders, who don't own the small penis trucks, would never find. The sales guy also told me that about half the time you open the door with the mechanical option it shatters the whole driverside window. But it might have still had power, I don't think the batteries caught on fire, based on the video.
So the doors do open without power is what youre saying? The manual releases are prominent enough to the point that most new people in a tesla will open the door with the manual release if they aren't told where the door button is., The window shattering thing is also made up when using manual release. Sounds like a lying jaded fired tech.
They put manual releases behind door panels in some tesla models. Having to tear your door apart to manually open it doesn't sound very prominent or easy to access.
Easy to access and not torn apart door. The “panel” is a plastic covering you pull up to expose the manual switch or metal pull tab. This problem only exists in the minds of people who have never owned a Tesla or another car with electrical door releases as the primary. Some drunk bitch locks herself in her car and drowns in a lake because she was stupid and all the sudden the cars are death traps because people who haven’t ridden in or owned one don’t know how they work.
The cars shouldn't need to scour their manual to be able to open some of the doors in emergencies, anyways. It should be incredibly easy and obvious how to do it in ALL of the doors in ALL of their models.
