So an entire Tesla hit piece so that they can say at the end, "Oh btw, just pull up on the emergency handle here and you're good!" This isn't an issue with the technology, but one of people not educating themselves. I don't know, maybe Tesla can put out commercials showing people this?
My Nissan car has electronic locks. On the outside I can use a physical key to unlock the door if in the even there is an electronic failure. On the inside there are two methods that can be used to open the doors. You can pull the door latch twice to unlock, or use a semi hidden manual unlatch located just above the door lever. Easy to get in and or out with a dead battery.
So the takeaway in this video is there isn't a problem with the cars themselves, but the drivers not being educated on the cars. Tesla vehicles warn you in advance that you need to change your 12-volt battery. Maybe one shouldn't take a road trip in the middle of the desert, WHILE ignoring the 12-volt change warning. As for renting a car, the onus should be on the rental company to not only change the 12-volt batteries but to also show the renters where the emergency release is before the renter drives off. Just like they would show them how to charge the car.

There are always these negative reports about EVs as if they're any different from ICE vehicles. The only difference is electric and gas. ICE vehicles have battery and electrical issues also. Airbag issues and many other safety recalls. The media is always highlighting EVs as if only EVs have issues. There are many ICE autonomous vehicles that have failed and had accidents. I remember a story of a family in California years ago in a Toyota, and it kept excelotating and would not stop. Police could do nothing but watch the car crash, and the family died. That was an ICE vehicle.
Knowing how to open the door manually from the inside should not require reading a manual, since not every person who may be inside the car when an issue occurs may be the owner. For example, a child may be trapped inside, or the car may be a rental and the driver not fully familiar with the features. The design of the door handles should make it obvious to anyone, without requiring education on the vehicle. I would say this is a design fail, since the manual release is not reasonably a discoverable feature.. Perhaps a safety recall will eventually be needed, and Tesla will have to retrofit the handles of all models that exhibit this problem.
It’s people not knowing their car.. if you’re gonna buy a car you should know about it.. just like the dude who died in his corvette because his door was locked and battery died… the handle was under his leg next to the seat on the floorboard…
So... its a Tesla design flaw.. not EVs in general... other EVs can be opened even without power or has a key under the key fob.. FYI, you should always know how to work your vehicle.
And this isnt a "problem" unique to EVs or Tesla. A guy died a few years ago when he didnt know how to get out of his gas powered Corvette after its 12V battery died. The manual latch to open the door was always right there for him. So in the end people really need to RTFM.
To all the muskrats saying that this is the fault of the people who drive these stupid cars *First of all* NOT EVERYONE OWNS A TESLA A lot of people rent the cars ride in them as Ubers or borrow them from friends so they aren’t familiar with them as much as you *second* In an emergency situation like the car catching on fire or the car ending up sinking in a body of water WHICH DOES HAPPEN People usually PANIC because they need to get out of the car FAST and in that case the electronics are all dead This happens quite often on commercial airplanes because you have to lift the buckle rather than push the button and people forget that *finally* If someone gets hurt or dies because of an unsafe or defective product ITS NOT THE OWNERS FAULT If you bought a phone that BLEW ITSELF UP when you press the home button YOUD SUE the company that made the phone Then again since you follow Elon Musk it’s more than likely that you can’t read this anyway
In China, all EV’s have an easy and easily identified manual release. Not sure why the simplest of things are so difficult in the USA. Is it really the vehicles? Or the users?
Exactly!! More FUD! This has NOTHING to do with being an EV!! Gas cars have this exact same problem! If the 12 V battery fails they will stop running, electric windows won’t work & if they have electric door latches those won’t work either.
i'm surprised about all these comments about how people should read the manual. ICE cars have been for a long time, and I never see people checking their oil when they fill up their gas tank as the manual suggest. Same with checking and filling their tire once a month.
Many in Gen x & older still struggle with the basic concept of using computers & smartphones. A computer on wheels will most definitely give them trouble.
@@smileychess nope, corvettes since 2006 have a secondary manual latch also Cadillac XLR and that electric coupe flop. I do agree better to keep it simple unecessary technology for a door handle.
Tesla’s poorly designed. Any car I ever owned this would be super easy. That manual release (inside) of no help if child or pet trapped inside. Need a keyhole in at least one door.
Clickbait trash story. First thing you learn as a Tesla owner is to never pull the emergency door release unless in an emergency. First thing you tell a passenger is where the emergency door release is, and to only press the button. And on the first day of the first warning to change the 12 volt battery, you schedule a service appointment through the app and Tesla comes and does it in your garage. It’s all a smooth process.
One more reason why EVs are not ready to go mainstream. There are too many issues that need to be addressed with more to come. Along with that, EV are not environmentally friendly, the steps it takes to manufacture them cause air pollution. More nuclear power plants will have to be built to sustain the huge load on the power grid EV will cause. Democrat politicians pushing this fail to mention these facts because many of them have financial interests in this.
Tesla not marking the manual release door latch is like hiding the fire exit sign in buildings. Common sense is to have it painted differently (in most older cars they're in silver)
How about you get a clue? The battery that powers the doors is a separate 12v battery. The car can be fully charged and the driver locked either inside or outside because the 12v fails. Sometimes the 12v battery can fail without warning.
You will. Why do you think Biden raised the tariff on the Chinese EV makers. Because it's already happening on a faster scale in Europe and it will be a matter of time before it hits our shore. It will be inevitable because we're already at the stage where pricing is on par with gas cars and it's much cheaper to maintain a EV. Technology will surpass you thinking gas cars will be prominent in 10 years.
It's a stupid design. We have had cars from all over the world for over half a century. Only now is this a problem because an intuitive latch is now an aesthetical problem
It’s comical just how informed people aer about electric vehicles 😂 Lady could have literally pulled the door release that is on the door. I guess when people run out of gas they just sell the car??
Tesla isn't gonna comment to any news station because people are stoopid, here's another thing you can, go to settings and make it so the car doesn't lock unless you lock it with the fab or your phone app.

Shouldn’t you familiarize yourself with any piece of equipment you use? I think it’s common sense
A door handle that's used 99.9999% of the time should also be the one used in an emergency. It's a design issue.

People please understand Tesla is NOT to only EV compnay. Every auto manufacturer has a EV on the road. Not just Tesla.
And yet not every EV is poorly designed. Mine has regular door handles.
Most Tesla owners know where that latch is. Not sure what’s going on here.
Yep
It says they rented a tesla
There's a manual latch that can be pulled to open the doors if the car completely shuts down.
The issue is that it's not mark as an emergency escape latch so some EV owner won't know.
Knowing how to open the door manually from the inside should not require reading a manual, since not every person who may be inside the car when an issue occurs may be the owner.

So... its a Tesla design flaw.. not EVs in general... other EVs can be opened even without power or has a key under the key fob..

Not a design flaw when the latch is in plain sight, on the actual door handle.

Saw a video that a guy died in a fire cus the door handle didn't pop out from the outside...guessing he didn't know about the latch
How about self eject capsule?😅😅 Or emergency exit
"find the unmarked black lever and pull up."
u know what, maybe make it bright orange and put "EMERGENCY door opener" on it...

To all the muskrats saying that this is the fault of the people who drive these stupid cars
*First of all*
NOT EVERYONE OWNS A TESLA
A lot of people rent the cars ride in them as Ubers or borrow them from friends so they aren’t familiar with them as much as you
*second*
In an emergency situation like the car catching on fire or the car ending up sinking in a body of water WHICH DOES HAPPEN
People usually PANIC because they need to get out of the car FAST and in that case the electronics are all dead
This happens quite often on commercial airplanes because you have to lift the buckle rather than push the button and people forget that
*finally*
If someone gets hurt or dies because of an unsafe or defective product ITS NOT THE OWNERS FAULT
If you bought a phone that BLEW ITSELF UP when you press the home button YOUD SUE the company that made the phone
