Turn onto your back with your feet towards the door/ window, grab the steering wheel and the doorward edge of the seat, and kick out the window with both feet. This can also be done from a passenger seat as well.

Has this been tested out in a Tesla? I wouldn’t put it past them to make it literally inescapable

Great question! I do not now, nor do I ever expect to have any interest in owning a Tesla. However if you want to give me one, I’d be willing to give it a try.

There is an extremely prominent manual release handle on the door in Teslas. The vehicle manual has all this information. I don’t know how or why other Tesla owners don’t know about this.

I see conflicting information on this.

That’s basically the bottom of a locked filing cabinet. Just needs the doormat to say “beware of the leopard”
