Keyless ignition ICE cars have also led to carbon monoxide poisoning deaths.
RTFM as they say (whether it's a car, a fridge, washing machine, computer, etc.). Owner responsibility and first responder training will always be issues external to any manufacturer and any propulsion system type.
That being said, among BEV manufacturers, Tesla is the outlier in eschewing mechanical linkages for door releases (as well as eschewing LiDAR for self-driving mode*). That might be because Tesla is famously led by a loud moron who is not the genius his cult has made him out to be, long before he was MAGA, with a sycophant board of directors that reward him no matter how much he shoots Tesla in the foot with dumb decisions like the Cybetruck, the Robotaxi and utter neglect of the company because X, video games and Oval Office appearances are where he spends the bulk of his time.
But this says nothing about BEV's of course. Only people like Trump are still trying to deny that the transition to fully electric cars is inevitable, and that BEV's are inherently simpler machines (fewer moving parts for fewer points of failure and lower maintenance needs ... even your hybrid still needs oil changes and is a pointlessly complex and heavy machine trying to marry two opposed technologies, consequently with double the points of failure than either one alone, for what was a best always just going to be a bridge phase to fully electric, kicking the can down the road). The rest of the world is moving on (look at BYD as one example which will eat Tesla's lunch, never mind GM / Ford), which will likely cause the US to fall even further behind technologically, and for US carmakers to in the future beg for even more protection from foreign competition when they realize their blunders.
People like Trump are simultaneously making BEV's even more necessary by stupidly supporting things like crypto and AI, which are famously ballooning our greenhouse gas emissions and drying up our aquifers. The stupidity is just epic because it's just reinforcing and compounding itself from multiple directions because of how woefully ignorant / greedy / denialist the MAGA leadership are. It is truly historic.
* self-driving mode is the thing no one needs and also leads to driver stupidity; without self-driving mode altering driver behavior, Tesla's safety record would outshine any ICE car's, a family is even alive today after driving off a cliff in a Tesla
