Firefighters had to use an ax to smash through the window.

    There is still a mechanical latch but it is on the inside and is well-hidden.

      It doesn’t look hidden to me, I expect I’d probably use that by accident myself.

        Agree to disagree, I suppose. It just looks like a piece of trim to me.

        Front seat? Sure. Back seat? Nah. You have to remove paneling, pull a tab up, then pull a cord forward. That is a three step, non-obvious and non-intuitive way to open a door.

          Or, climb into the front seat and open the front door.

            Or, all doors should have an obvious mechanical backup that doesn’t require that.

          If you owned one you’d know i guess. The M3 has un hidden regular door pulls on the inside both front and rear doors. Idk about the Y.

          I know it’s cool to hate Tesla, but wrong is wrong, despite the downvotes.
