Just for clarification, all Tesla vehicles, Model X included, have a manual pull to open the door even in the case that the power is dead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01lXcD_Uz74 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01lXcD_Uz74
- Symbiote 7y agoThat looks awful! Especially for the rear doors, which don't have a mechanical opener on one model. Basic design should mean that familiar methods work in an emergency. People often follow the usual way out of a building, even if there's a closer fire exit. I just wrote above, but I was trapped in a burning car when I was a kid. The door latch worked, but I had to hold it open and kick the door to unjam it after a collision. Had it been a Tesla, would I have known about unclipping the speaker grill, or finding a small tag to pull on at night? And been able to kick the door at the same time?
