Yes. This issue keeps coming up on FR Tesla threads. The confusion might be due to the fact that the method of opening the rear doors following loss of power differs from that for the front doors.

From page 14 of your linked owner's manual for a Tesla Model S:

Opening Interior Doors with No Power

If Model S has no electrical power, the front doors open as usual using the interior door handles. To open the rear doors, fold back the edge of the carpet below the rear seats to expose the mechanical release cable. Pull the mechanical release cable toward the center of the vehicle.

Rear doors. I was referencing front doors.
