What I have posted so far are all facts, I even like some ideas of EVs/Teslas, but nothing is perfect. When I point out a clear flaw or a disadvantage of EV under a particular ownership scenario, a few of you get so butthurt, starts defending your car like there is no tomorrow, it's hilarious and laughable. |
I don't call myself a fanboi, you guys do. I do like the Model 3 but i'd happily buy a different EV if it was better than the M3 at the same price and came with the NACS charge port.
Man, that sucks for that guy and his family but it's a story from 4 years ago so no, I hadn't heard about it. I did get my first EV in 2018 but never heard about it. I'm not sure why the manual release from inside of the vehicle wasn't working but there definitely seems to have been an issue with the Model S in specific cases during a crash. This doesn't paint all Tesla's with the same brush though as the Model S has very different door handles from the Model X and the Model 3/Y. The 3/Y use manual door handles on the outside and a button on the inside with a manual release on the inside in case of emergency.
EDIT: Upon reading an article on it from 2022 it looks like the guy may have been unconscious as it mentions "there is a mechanical back-up in place that can only be accessed from the inside of the vehicle", so it appears as if he was either un aware or unable to get the door open. I've never driven a model S but from what I understand, the regular door release on the inside is mechanical when the power is cut.
If you think that I was being butthurt/defending my car like there is no tomorrow, or w/e by your comments, your pretty delusional. I was pointing out how to get out of the vehicle when the battery fails, that's it.
