which is different on every Tesla model...
- dymk 3y agoEdit: You know what, nevermind. Tesla is about as flame-baity a topic as abortion on HN.
- mplewis 3y agoIt sounds like you're making excuses for the unintuitive interface.

- nkrisc 3y agoNot everyone who is sitting in a Tesla is the owner of the Tesla.
- actionfromafar 3y agoYou will own nothing and be happy. Edit: I know passenger, I just wanted to point out the absurdity of requiring intimate familiarity with a door to be able to open it, extending to drivers. Think car sharing pools etc, something the future will have more of. Next up - in the next firmware update after fully self-driving, comes fully self-opening door!
- nkrisc 3y agoI meant a passenger.
- kube-system 3y agoDoor handles should be intuitive to all occupants regardless of whether they own the vehicle.
- actionfromafar 3y agoWill someone think of the children?!
- Veserv 3y agoIn particular there is no manual door release for the backseat of a Model 3, and the Model Y manual door release is a cable hidden under a access door which is itself hidden under a mat in the rear door pocket [1] (assuming it has one, early model years do not). A regular backseat passenger will never find the Model Y rear door manual release in the event of a crash without being shown exactly where it is. A regular backseat passenger in a Model 3 must either crawl into the front or break a window to escape. I do believe the front door release is the same in all models though; which is a regular pull handle around where you would expect a normal door handle to be. Funnily enough, many people mistake it for the actual door release since the door UI is very unintuitive.
