*There is also a manual release in the rear seats but you have to remove the mat and you may need tools. In an emergency, go out the FRONT!!*
Hopefully this won't happen to you but make sure you test this out and it works and you know what to do and how to open your car door manually in case of an emergency!

In aviation, there are very specific reasons why controls are where they are and shaped the way they are - you can tell by touch what you're working. Most older model vehicles have similar controls and placements - you can literally hop in nearly any vehicle and drive away. But rather than having intuitively placed manual back-ups Tesla opted for, well, whatever they thought worked...and people are dying.

So, standardization needs to return. Immediately.

We just experienced the same thing, the car died and locked itself in the driveway. The car had to be towed to tesla only for them to say they could not duplicate the issue. I have 3 little ones who ride in the back seat. They would not be able to get out of the car in an emergency. This is crazy, thanks for the video

Thank Chris for the video. I couldn't figure out where the manual release was for the rear seats. Now I know I'll have to scramble to the front to exit the car. LOL.

[nykhong]

Thanks for the important info! I didn’t even know the front doors had a latch!

[lisapark]

I appreciate all your videos! been watching alot since I just got my tesla! thank you for all the tips!

last week a mother and her daughter were burned to death when their tesla crashed into a tree and the batteries caught fire. it was a minor impact. i guess they didn't know how to use the emergency door release. it just seems irresponsible of the manufacturer. the father found them at the scene and the firemen wouldn't let him near the car.

All the Tesla owners who are sitting in the back of their car as opposed to, say, an Uber customer who’ll basically burn because it’s impossible to open their door in an emergency?

No manual release in my 2022 model 3 for the rear seats, either have to craw out the front or lower the seat to escape out the trunk.

after billionaire angela chao incident in texas, all tesla owners need to watch this video

[geralddietz]

You have got to be kidding me 🤨, does the owners manual come to mind ?

My friend got a testa for his birthday king story short doors wouldn’t open cause car died he had no way of getting out so I had to bust open the window and told insurance it got broken into he used insurance money to repair and buy a Honda and saved 25k

why change an system efficient and simple (mechanic lock) since many year ? Stupid innovation, electric way on safety fonctions, with bullet proof windows, a real trap in some situation (fire, water)

[sonoroustripleh]

I gotta simple solution! Don't buy a Tesla!

[HakanKoseoglu]

... And in any other car, simply open the door.

[nutbagloh]

Yeah but if you are injured in the back seat due to an accident, or there’s someone with reduced mobility at the back how do you expect him/her to squeeze between the front seats to get out? My brother met with an accident in his Tesla with his 80y old mother in law in the back seat. The car battery shut off as a safety measure but his MIL with arthritis had to maneuver her way out the front. Don’t you think Tesla should have a safety manual override to open the rear doors too?

Disqualifying not to have a physical latch accessible in the back.

[normie]

I'm just gonna have to burn to death. No way I'm risking messing up my window trim because of a little fire. 🤨

[IAmThePrepper]

It looks we need to keep a small flat head screw driver in car for ‘emergency’.

[bgeyssens]

First video I found that showed how the back door manual release worked. As you've highlighted it's absurdly complex, especially in an emergency situation. I think the best advice would be to use a window breaker if you are stuck in the back seat.
