Moreover, with the Model Y in particular, not all vehicles come with manual releases for the rear doors, as Tesla warns in the car’s manual. It’s unclear if the Model Y involved in the crash was equipped with the emergency feature.

Ok but they didn’t open the front doors either. This is an argument of “the emergency latch is not clear enough”, pretending there is no match is a losing argument

I didn’t know there was such thing as a mechanical latch and I’ve been a passenger in a tesla. Stop blaming the victims

When you’re dying if smoke inhalation the subtle difference between “hard to find” and “not existent” door latches doesn’t matter - they’re effectively the same.

What the fuck are they doing over at Tesla to make it hard to open a door in an emergency

Oh shit I guess I lost to your superior logic. Wonder why all these people keep dying, then.

Because the emergency latch isn’t easy to find?

If someone currently owns a Tesla, you want them to know a latch is there. That’s how you stop people from dying. Not by lying that it doesn’t exist.
