      Sure, but you have to do some insane shit like pull open some random unmarked panel, dig your hand in, and pull a cable. Good luck remembering how to do that when the car is filled with smoke and there is literally a fire being lit under your ass. Tesla fires have killed hundreds already.

        Yes, but that doesn’t mean you can make blatantly false statements.

        You can just say they’re buried and non-intuitive.

        Be better.

          You’re literally “ummm actually”-ing human immolation.

          A mechanical release that is obfuscated and not easy and intuitive to use effectively doesn’t exist. You might as well say, “well, technically, shattering a window is a mechanical action, so all cars have mechanical releases…”

          Stop trying to excuse homicide.
