   @thomasfuchs I will never understand people who don't keep their manuals in their cars. (I always do.)

     @thomasfuchs No, because I wouldn't own a Tesla (Audi EV here). I also did actually read my entire manual. :D

     @thomasfuchs When I rent a car, I download the manual because they never freakin' provide it.

     I will admit to not reading the entire thing, though.

     @thomasfuchs As I like to point out, at least in passenger airliners, we brief people on this stuff every single time (and its more straightforward!)

     @thomasfuchs Issue with Tesla manual: It's on the touch screen. I guess I could try to download and print it? But then it would be out of date next software update!

     "I bought it before we knew how bad he is" 🙂 (Also, I have a 2015 model S which has more physical controls than a 3 or Y - or apparently a newer S.)

     @thomasfuchs In model 3’s, at least, that “can open them” only applies to the front doors unless you buy a 3rd-party accessory and install it yourself https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=54UsqZGnGGM

     @makdaam @thomasfuchs No worries. (Just had it happen three times this month, hence crispy.)

     It's always a good idea to have various tools (seat belt cuttter, glass hammer) in case bad things happen, regardless of the model of car. But honestly, there should be a clear way to escape that's available in an emergency.

     (I'm reminded of the people who try to escape flooding via an attic, not realizing there's no egress in most attics and usually no tools for creating an egress.)

     @deirdresm @thomasfuchs Sorry for the tone of my message.

     The thing is: Tesla doesn't provide a way to open the rear door without power. Having read the manual doesn't resolve the core issue of evacuating a car in case of an emergency.

     @makdaam @deirdresm @thomasfuchs Why do men feel they can assign homework to women? WTAF is wrong with you?

     @deirdresm @thomasfuchs Please read the Tesla manuals and let me know how to open the rear door in the newest model Y in case of a power cut off without a tool.

     I'll wait.

     @thomasfuchs @makdaam

     I was thinking of this old Cybertruck video, actually. Dunno if they changed the glass qualitatively:
