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.

The difficult manual-unlock procedure of Teslas has been well known and well documented by the RealTesla community for years.

Still nice to see more mainstream webpages talking about the ridiculous manual-release lever design of Tesla cars.

    It should be straight up illegal to have anything other than extremely easy to access, intuitive, physical release for every single door on a vehicle.

      Doubly so as multiple people have died as they’ve been locked into a Tesla-on-fire.

      When the Tesla battery catches on fire, all electronics stop working. This is a significant safety issue.
