    Transporting a minor in a Tesla is child endangerment.

      Any time I call an Uber and get a Tesla I automatically deduct a point. I hate being in those things.

    I think the only rational thing to do, is ban AI from cars.

    Also, ban Tesla from roads.

    the door handles stopped working, what a stupid feature and nightmare

    makes me wonder, couldn’t someone or something remotely hack a car to kill its passengers?

      you can open the doors without the power handles. Keep in mind this is version from a lawyer, the same people who fabricated “unintended acceleration” claims.

        Sure you can—but you have to take the door panel off first. Because Tesla is shit.

          Here, the fine manual: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_us/GUID-A7A60DC7-E476-4A86-9C9C-10F4A276AB8B.html

          It would be nice if we could stick to the facts instead of making wild assertions.

          For the Model 3, the front seats have a pull handle by the window control that will open the door even without power. This is in an obvious and intuitive location, and should be known to any owner who has spent a few minutes reading the manual and studying the capabilities of their vehicle. The rear seats do not have an exposed pull handle, but there is an emergency release under the door pocket liner.

          Complete guides to all Tesla manual door release controls exist and are available.

          The only model where the emergency release is hidden behind a door panel is the Model X, where the rear seats hide the emergency release cable behind a speaker grille.

          There are perfectly fair and valid criticisms to level at Tesla, but when people repeat uninformed FUD instead of sticking to the facts it makes it easy to write off their opinions are worthless.

          It would be very fair and reasonable to question or criticise:

          • Why the rear seats in the Model 3 do not have an immediately obvious emergency release.
          • Why it’s not always possible to open the car doors from the outside after a crash (IIRC they should auto-unlock after an accident but this depends on them still being powered)
          • Why all of the large windows are laminated, making it hard to break them in the event of an accident (citation needed for the Model 3, this may only be the Model Y. Also it’s for soundproofing.)
          • Why the CEO chucked out two Nazi salutes…

          But saying “you have to take the door panel off first”? Incorrect and uninformed, sorry.

    To be fair, it did drive itself.

    I’ve heard of “father-son bonding”, but this is ridiculous!

    So do all teslas come with bullet resistant glass? Would a regular glass breaker work? What about the cattle killer from no country for old men? That seems like it would be the best tool for first responders.
