    I put two window smashers with seatbelt cutters in my Wife’s Model Y for this reason. The back seat door releases are HARD to notice as they are buried in a door pocket. We are getting rid of the car next year for something made by an actual 100 year old car company and not run by a fucking greedy dork.

      Depending on the manufacture date, the side windows on the model Y may be laminated glass. If that’s the case with yours, window smashers won’t work on those.

        Are you fucking kidding me? The only laminated glass that should be on a car is the windshield. Everything else should be tempered.

          This is not just a problem with Tesla, but a requirement by NHTSA that is fairly common and will be everywhere

          https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a28422725/car-windows-glass-aaa-unbreakable/

          One in three 2018 models have such glass

          a rule the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) passed in 2011. It’s known as Ejection Mitigation, and it requires a combination of side airbag curtains and stronger windows to keep occupants inside the car during a rollover.

            Jesus Tapdancing Christ, that’s what a fucking seatbelt is for. What the fuck is going on with the NHTSA? They’re the reason why cars are huge and getting bigger, and now they want them to be crematoriums as well?

        Clearly Musk wants people to die.
