Try breaking a window man, do your due diligence and save a life. Don’t just give up at the slight obstacle.

If the occupant is unconscious, dragging one out of the window can make things significantly worse if there are injuries from a crash. The door handle should always be available. Even if the door won't open on one side because of an impact there, use the other side. There are much better alternatives than dragging someone over shattered glass out of a window.

It's safety glass. More like pebbles than sharp shards. Please drag me over shattered automotive glass if I'm otherwise burning alive in a car.

Life over limbs. If the vehicle is on fire and I’m unconscious, fucking drag me out by any means necessary.

Not risking my life EXTRA for someone still choosing to drive a Tesla after all of this, I'll keep on keepin' on and leave that to the professionals

Not saving a life because of their choice of vehicle… that’s really sad.

Imagine seeing a car on fire and actually saying to yourself “ hell nah, screw that guy, he chose to drive a Tesla, he deserve to burn alive”.

Great way of thinking man. I hope I don’t live anywhere near you.

Strawman: destroyed

Try:

Fuck helping that guy, I'm not figuring out how his stupid door works and potentially getting hurt myself because he chose to drive a stupidly designed vehicle

Notice how in yours it's some sort of bigotry towards the car, while I specifically pointed out that Tesla's are objectively less safe to interact with and that was the reason, with 0 sympathy being offered because they chose to drive a badly designed car

you could learn how to open a Tesla door so that if you ever come across a Tesla that’s on fire, you could save a life. There are plenty of youtube videos, less than 10 seconds of your time.

You could make a difference in someone’s life.

Lol, fuck learning how to open someone else's car for an extremely niche situation, they can burn, I do not care about their poor choices

I feel sorry for people around you.
