Hopefully the windows can be easily broken to allow the occupants to leave?

"Now, the back seat is a scary part."

Narrator: So, in the front seats, they're by the handle. In the back seats, they might be under the rug or behind a speaker grill or behind the trim on a door. Or, I actually found one in the Model Y--it was in the door pocket under a plastic flap.

How is this legal?!

I have been in a Tesla exactly once, as a back seat passenger. I could not figure out how to open the door and I was not on fire at the time.

    Regulations in the USA, at any rate, are made for the convenience of rich folk getting richer, not for the safety of citizens. I don't know what the state of these are in Europe. Do the European-sold Teslas have sane manual door opening?

    I would assume that insurance companies (the ones that do the crash tests) will need to look at the insurance cost of doors that can't open. Start taking stars off as it is save for the occupier in the initial crash but they end up dead anyway
