A Tesla's manual door releases can be tricky to find if you haven't read the owner's manual. Here's how to locate and activate them in the Tesla Model S, 3, X, and Y.

Numerous Tesla owners have said they’ve been stuck inside their EVs after the cars suddenly lost power.

YouTuber Tom Exton claimed that his Tesla Model Y ordered him to pull over before it suddenly lost power and left him unable to exit.

Exton followed the instructions for the manual release to open the door, but he said this “somehow broke the driver’s window.”

    The Model 3 owner’s manual states that “only the front doors are equipped with a manual door release.”

    Well clearly anyone in the rear could just go out the front doors. And there’s absolutely no conceivable way that would ever not be possible, right?

      Huh, this must be new? My Model 3 and S both have rear hardware manual open methods.

      The Model 3 one is so easy to access that most of my passengers used it instead of the button.
