The emergency release on a Tesla is in the normal spot for a door handle. People trapped just assume there isn't a release and don't look for one.

Did you look at the link posted? I've never seen a door handle like that, and I'm not even sure I would realize it was a lever if I saw it. It looks like a static part of the door to me.

I do agree that I'd probably end up pulling on it after some searching, but it wouldn't be the first place I'd go.
