The front ones seem easy enough, the rear ones are a lot harder https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/2020_2024_modely/en_us/GUID-AAD769C7-88A3-4695-987E-0E00025F

The front ones vary and certain models are atrociously designed. If you get in an accident and have a concussion, and adrenaline, add a 10x difficulty factor This is almost certainly what killed those kids in piedmont

whoa. > Not all Model Y vehicles are equipped with a manual release for the rear doors. How is that even allowed?

  I think that's exactly what they recently got sued for. Car caught fire, electrical stopped working (and therefore the doors stopped working) and a teen burned inside

    It's wild how my car won't let me change basic settings while vehicle is in drive (too much menu nav as to be distraction & I've had cars that would only let me edit the navigation destination while in park) yet - this exists as well

      You're forgetting the "people who don't care, they just want to be seen looking like they care so they make a bunch of noise" factor. Once you multiply the safety problem by the this factor it all makes sense. A small non-problem that every screeching jerk will be exposed to is a bigger actual problem more likely to get addressed than a potential real problem that will mostly go unnoticed. Also rear doors are kinda optional. They still make 2door 2-row cars. Heck, they made 2-door 2-row SUVs pretty recently. And child safety locks are a thing. So there is an argument to be made there (not that I think it holds up on modern stuff).

Spicy: > Use caution when using the manual door release; the window will not automatically lower when the door is opened and damage to the window or vehicle trim may occur. Manually opening the rear doors is a destructive operation!

  Is it actually "destructive" or is it more of a "cramming the door seal over the window and flexing the widow assembly in a way that would result in more failure under warranty than they want if done regularly" type thing.
