The Elon Musk-owned automaker has a troubling history of owners getting locked in their cars without power. Some of these cases may be down to user error, since most Teslas come with manual release levers.

Of course, let's blame the users ๐Ÿ™„

MOST?

Yea the cheapest ones skipped the manual release for the back doors. Gotta deliver maximum value to shareholders!

Now, now, remember correlation is not causation. Maybe it's not the unintuitive design; maybe a disproportionate number of idiots buy Teslas?

In the case of the model Y referenced, this release is under a mat. You wouldn't see it in normal operation.

In case of emergency, lift the floor mat and input the 16 digit release code.

The 16 digit code can be found in the "My Data" section on x.com, assuming your account has been linked to your vehicle.
