The doors on the Tesla have a flap below the button to open the door. If you pull it backwards, it manually opens the door. If I backed into a pond, I'd pull the flap and get out before the car sinks. EDIT: looks like this only applies to the newer models. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/model-x-emergency-open-driver-door.272863/ https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/model-x-emergency-op... It isn't very easy on an older model x

As soon as the car door gets (partly) underwater (i.e. not too many seconds), even a sliding door could be incredibly difficult to open if it also had to be pushed outward first. Breaking the glass (or somehow still managing to slide the window) could be more realistic options, barring lucky cases of sinking unusually slowly.
