    Yep. That’s my issue. It’s not the fire, it’s that it’s really hard to get out in a disaster.

    The Tesla could just have easily killed four if it crashed into water.

      You mean, the mechanical handle present? I’m not sure if older cars over a decade ago didn’t have em, but my model 3 has mechanical release on every hinged part. Even the drunk, which no human being would even fit in (I think, I guess a toddler might?).

        Do you think the average Tesla driver knows about these? Are they easy to find and use in an emergency? Could they be easily improved?
