"Only front doors are equippped with a manual door release"... whose stupid idea was this? Would it have been so hard to add this literal life-saving feature to the back doors?
- josephcsible 4y agoHow does this make cars any less safe in any way that car door child safety locks don't also do?
- buffington 4y agoI can open an unlocked door with a child safety lock engaged from the outside of the car.
- josephcsible 4y agoThe key word there is "unlocked". I can't think of any cars that have keyholes on the back doors, and if the power door locks were working then you wouldn't need an emergency release.
- buffington 4y agoNo kidding. So if my car is on fire, I can get out using the manual release, but my kids have to kick their way free? Or climb out the front? Or wait for me to break the window from the outside somehow? How is this even legal?
- avgDev 4y agoI've had no idea.....how is this even allowed? It's even the law to have a manual lever in the trunk of a sedan.
- moistly 4y agoOne can not expect The Musk to follow mere laws. He has demonstrated that time and again.
- GraphenePants 4y agoGiven that Tesla fires are so rare that they're a news story every time, it doesn't make sense to sacrifice Tesla families safety by giving children the opportunity to open doors while the car is moving.
- fragmede 4y agothe rest of the car industry has already solved that non-issue with child safety locks
