Horse shit. Safety features should not require reading the manual to operate. They should be big, obvious, and easy to operate. What if you're a passenger and the accident causes the driver to lose consciousness?

Bigger horseshit in the manual: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-AAD769C7-88A3-4695-987E-0E00025F64E0.html

Not all Model Y vehicles are equipped with a manual release for the rear doors.

How is that legal?!

Perhaps same as 3 seat row or 2 door cars with rear row. Good luck escaping from the back in rush.

Uber passenger? Better read the manual!

Also safety features should be accessible to those panicking. It’s why heavy machinery emergency stops tend to be big red buttons/switches
