Maybe break the window with your baton and pull the driver out?
I’d make a new door if I was trapped.
If Tesla was smart, they would recall all the cars and change out the doors. Otherwise, fears about the vehicle becoming a death trap would tank their sales. If I owned one, I would demand a refund for the price I paid for the car.
Elon Musk is mega-rich fool. He’s going to lose all his investors money soon enough.
Doesn’t the Tesla have a manual door latch inside like the C7 Corvette?
So much for that record ‘profit’ that Tesla just reported.
One of the biggest threats to human existence is the infantile, pathological faith that so many people have in the reliability of technology they don’t understand.
Makes me glad I will never own a Tesla.

What’s to burn? Is it a hybrid or full electric?
Interior materials should be fire proof.
One of Frank Sinatra’s closest long term friends burned to death in a new car with automated locks without latches inside. If the car was off but on fire there were no latches to get the door open from inside. He couldn’t remember the way to get the doors to open. The electrical system had no power to unlock. A terrible idea.
When they show “could you survive?” shows on a car sliding off a road or bridge going into a river or pond they tell you to
“roll down the window halfway to equalize the water pressure” and then push the door out. Otherwise it’s stuck against you under the water pressure. BUT how many vehicles have roll down cranks instead of the shorted out, dead electric window motors?
On a lighter note a for a different Tesla breakdown, I heard the emergency call guy for another Tesla had to drive there in a regular Ford truck or van . Imagine old time gas station guy saying “Lordy, can’t fix you up with a can of dry gas, a gallon of regular or a jump cable start. You’re stuck. Maybe a 12 hour charge if I tow you to a charging place 75 miles away but I don’t have that much time to spare. Sorry you can’t stay at our station and it’s 15 below zero out.”
Also, Neil Young’s several electric cars had fires and I’ve heard stories of other car fires. Must be a “thing” with them.
A robust DFMEA was not performed.
Tesla is hosed.
reduced carbon footprint ?
What engineer worth a damn allows a single point of failure with this level of risk???
This is the future? Give me the good old days.
Scary and very wrong if true. They should not have doors so tech tricky that something like that could happen.
Dr Omar Awan.
Any relation to the Awan bros that scammed the dems?
Why the hell didn’t they just break the window and get him out???
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
