Yeah. Tesla's require power to open doors. There are mechanical emergency release latches, but the back doors can't be easily opened, because the latch is not in an obvious place, but hidden in the base of the seat. Front doors have mechanical latch in the door, but I'm not sure how easily the door opens without power.
See the placement of back door emergency release in Model S: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01lXcD_Uz74&t=42s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01lXcD_Uz74&t=42s
Model 3 doesn't have emergency release latches for back doors.
- stevehawk 6y agolatch or not, it's common for a collision to result in a door physically not being able to open due to malformation. In fact, in small aircraft (general aviation), you're taught to open the door and jam something in between the door and the frame before an emergency landing to avoid being trapped.
