The model Y's inability to roll down its rear windows is another safety liability. I had to vomit out of an Uber and had much difficulty getting my head out the tiny opening.
- dagmx 2y agoPerhaps you mean “roll it down all the way”, but it most definitely can roll down most of the way. As someone with a large head myself, I can most definitely fit it out comfortably of mine.
- kevin_thibedeau 2y agoI don't have a large head. There is zero chance of crawling out the window if you're trapped in these cars.
- dagmx 2y agoThat’s a different point entirely. You talked about being unable to fit your head out comfortably. I addressed that.
- nineteen999 2y agoAt least their head can escape even if the rest of them can't.
- kevin_thibedeau 2y agoKnowing the incompetent engineering in the Cypertruck closure mechanisms, I was definitely worried about getting guillotined by the firmware.
- Reason077 2y agoIf the door won’t open electrically, then very likely the power windows won’t work either. So to be able to crawl out the window, you’d have to break the glass, which would make the full size of the opening available.
- Beijinger 2y agoReal life problems. Thanks for sharing :-)
- namdnay 2y agoThat’s not really specific to Tesla. Lots of cars have rear windows that only hinge open slightly
- Reason077 2y agoThis is an issue with many modern cars, not just Tesla. The rear windows physically can’t roll all the way down due to the shape of the doors. One way to solve it might be to design a window mechanism where the glass rotates in the frame rather than just sliding on a single axis. But as always, there’s a cost and complexity trade off.
