Teslas are dangerous AF

People have literally died in otherwise perfectly survivable car crashes when driving a Tesla, because when a Tesla's 12V battery isn't working (died, got damaged, etc.), the doors will not open, and the manual release mechanisms are super hidden and hard to find, are different for the front doors and the back doors, and the locations differ by model. Anyone who doesn't already know exactly where the manual release is (first responders, any passengers that don't also own that exact same model of Tesla, owners who never bothered to check the manual for where they are) is gonna have a hell of a time finding it, time that can mean the difference between life and death. Combined with the reinforced glass that is extra hard to break, it's a great recipe for dying in a fire.

I don't know if that is the nail in the coffin of ecars but, I still think they're a step back in technology and not a miraculous cure all for the environment as it's being hyped. Maybe natural gas is the best next step from petroleum, maybe something else.
