Tesla is not alone (there was a story about someone trapped in a Corvette because they didn't know about the separate emergency release handle).

However, there are examples of doing it better. For example, evidently in the Mach E the emergency release is... pulling the normal door release harder. So there's some detent for 'normal electric opening of door' and then if you are more frantic, pulling harder to really open the door.

Yeah that Mach-E example sounds ideal.
