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.

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 except conventional door handle is least likely to malfunction, and tesla's design is most likely to malfunction,
that's the point that's why it's a stupid, pointless and unsafe design.
Also, just remember next time you are in a serious crash, probably unconscious, when every second counts, you are way more likely to be stuck inside burning to death because 1st responder or firefighters can't figure out how to use your door handle to rescue you. or your door handle is already broken. Are you gonna teach them how to open your door when you are knocked out? The lack of common sense among you is scary, how can you convince yourself that is not a unsafe and stupid design?
I don't need to fact check my sources, at least I'm providing them, you guys are spewing bs from thin air, cough.. I have sources that show tesla have surpassed 300000km on their original batteries but I won't show them to you cough....
The irony of buying a tesla or EV in general for its safety, just look at the numbers of serious crashes Tesla's been in, how easily they ignite due to the lithium ion battery, and fire is literally impossible to put out once it is on. So you get into a serious crash, my tesla is so safe, I survived the initial impact, then you are literally igniting and burning to death right after, sounds fun.... if you truly value your family's safety, you shouldn't had bought two tesla's.
