      That’s for if you’re inside, a mechanical access has to exist on the outside as well, no?

        No. You just need to be able to exit without power. Getting back in mechanically isn’t a requirement.

        It should be, but it’s not.

        You can also “jump” the car to open it via a 12V access port in the front.

              They did

              The child was safely removed from the car after firefighters used an ax to smash through a window

                I know.

                My response was to the previous comment.

                In a non Tesla, if someone is locked in a car, what happens? There isn’t some secret “let me in” button. You just break a window. This is a dumb story.

                  If someone is locked in your car and you’re the owner you simply use the key and open the door, no need to break anything, except in a Tesla.

                    Some cars aren’t quite that simple, on newer models they’re hiding the keyhole on the bottom side of the handle behind a cover. But usually those models won’t lock with the keys inside the car

                  I mean, presumably if I’m standing outside my car with a key, I just unlock the door and open it. Can’t do that with a dead tesla.

              Yeah…because breaking the window as your first option in an emergancy is a GREAT idea. No need for a manual handle with a key, right? What a stupid idea that would be.

                It’s not your first option in an emergency. Normally you just open the door. Breaking the glass is several layers of things-not-working deep.

              Agree. The only worry is the flying glass might hurt the child.
