Tesla filed a recall covering nearly 3 million vehicles in China over emergency door releases that are hard to find after a crash. Eight other automakers did the same on the same day. In the US, NHTSA has had two open investigations into the same issue for a year, and no recalls. I break down what the Chinese regulator found, what the fix actually is, where NHTSA stands, and why China's battery pack standard (GB 38031-2025) is also well ahead of FMVSS 305.

Yes, I know there's a mechanical release. That's the point.

Those were kind of a joke to get around too. The tolerances in the cams was so great, I could open most of them with a small paper clip. And I'm not talking about bending into a hook or rake, I mean I could literally shove the whole paper clip as is, unmodified, and turn the cylinder. And most thieves would just bust the steering wheel. But I've never seen one like you posted a picture of. I hope they reworked the locking mechanism.
