Several families of October 7 victims have reportedly filed a lawsuit against the city of Sderot in southern Israel, as well as a company that manufactures “smart shelters,” for what they say is negligence that contributed to their loved ones’ murders by Hamas.

Whoever sold it saved a few bucks in manufacturing. Just like newer cars that don’t unlock manually from the inside when the battery’s dead. I think newer Teslas don’t even have a way to open the rear doors from the back seats.

Safety first!

All EVs have to have a manual door release. At least on front doors.

Keep a spring loaded center punch in the glove box. Iw will fracture the windows for escape.
