Realistically they should show the owners at the dealership and make sure they open it several times before taking it off the lot then reinforce it in software and make them release it once a month.

Or you know.. just make it mechanical

If I remember right, it damages the car to use the manual door override.

Lawl of course it does.

It used to not lower the window and could damage the window.

Shortly after the 3 was released it was changed. When there is power it lowers the window now.

But if there is no power, it can't lower the window and it may break.

And what about the passengers? Is the owner going to be required to give an airline attendant “emergency exits are located here” safety speech every time someone hops in the car with them? Can we actually trust them to do so?

Also, not all models have mechanical release mechanisms in the rear doors. There are models where it is 100% possible to just be locked in the back seat. And when you only have ~15 seconds to escape before the lithium flames+smoke cook you, you’re not going to be able to crawl to the front.

Well fuck Tesla. This should be illegal.
