Got this a while back for $4.95 shipping. Razor sharp and so far holding up great. Refresh with just a few strokes with a Steel.

I’ll see if I can find anything. I got it through a Opinion Vote thing on RSBN Website asking if President Donald J. Trump was better than dipshitdiaperboy.

It was several months ago.

Is that so a EV owner can knock some sense into himself for buying a overpriced semi useless EV?

Thinking on my last post they would have landed, only on a pike of rocks.

Gets me a 404 Page Not Found notice.
Maybe they pulled the page after a limited offer thing?

I have a knife like that too, but after seeing the video (posted in 99) and how long it took with the knife (and the effort) I got one of those spring-loaded Resqme tools.

The Resqme also hangs from my mirror (or put it on your keys) so it is readily available. The video is from underwater rescue people and is promoted for use to get out of your car after a crash into water. You may be injured and can’t swing the knife or hammer. And good luck finding the knife or hammer after a crash.

None of these tools work on laminated glass. So not your windshield, and I guess newer cars have laminated on the front side windows. The rear sides or the rear often will still have just tempured glass and these tools will work on them. There should be a label in the lower corner of the glass saying what it is made of.

You don’t know anything about Teslas. The owner’s manual is accessed through the display on the dash, and they all have manual door release.

When the battery is dead what happens to the owner’s manual display on the dashboard? Can you still navigate it?

This article talks about some models without manual door releases on the front door, giving as an example the “Model S”:

Former Model S owner here, and I can assure you it had mechanical latches. Read the article you linked.
