    If there was a burning car and I had to open your Tesla’s door from the outside to save you, you’re dead because I wouldn’t be able to figure out how to use the handle, regardless of whether the thing was still powered or not.

      I have had many people ride in my Tesla and most of them opened the door by pulling the emergency handle… By instinct. So great job reading a headline and commenting without ever being in a Tesla, calling something you have never seen “bad design”.

      Some kind of argument this group deals with when people say " busses/trains don’t work [instead made up thing they have never seen]"

      Great job furthering the cause or any change at improving anything.

        I’m talking about accessing the Tesla from the outside. It’s not obvious how you do that, and I’ve been picked up by several Teslas that were Ubers. (IIRC isn’t there something like the handles don’t pop out if the doors are locked too? I just remember that I’ve struggled with this)

          So anyone in a sports car? Porsche, Massaratti, Audi, Ferrari and many others used these way before Tesla…

      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 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.
