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 want to get into the whole fanboi discussion, but I will say this...
1. Teslas are designed with manual backups to open the door from inside in case of a power loss and it overrides any and all electronic control of the car. I personally dunno how anyone could miss it because for the first 3 days of ownership, my kids, wife and everyone who gone onto my Tesla have used the manual latch release because it was that obvious. I ended up putting a sticker on the button so people knows where to open the door.
2. It is perfectly possible that the manual release never got pulled. Whether it's the driver not knowing where it was/panicked and forgot/door got jammed... it doesn't matter. No car is perfect and every accident is different. Name me one car brand that guarantees their car's doors to function properly (open) in the event of an accident. It doesn't exist. No brand and design can guarantee such a function. That's why the Jaws of Life exists.
I value the safety of my family very much and I bought 2 Teslas (soon 3 and 4) because 3rd parties (IIHS, Euro NCAP... etc) test data/video convinced me and they all gave it top score. I say top because they are all class-leading in their respective categories. What does this ABCNews link you posted have scientifically? Nothing.
You keep asking for proof of whatever when in fact, the "sources" you post are shit.
"You can't wake someone who pretends to be sleeping." You choose to believe what you want to believe. It's your choice. Just respect other's opinion. And if you really want to "fact-check", I suggest you find better sources.
