The Elon Musk-owned automaker has a troubling history of owners getting locked in their cars without power. Some of these cases may be down to user error, since most Teslas come with manual release levers.

Of course, let's blame the users 🙄

I don't want to be a dick but not using the mechanism to open them is user error.

But it does also sound like they aren't very well placed in some models. I feel like the manual release being the same as any car would make sense. As a fucking standard door handle.

I assume the no power locking is an anti theft thing. But if you're in the car already just provide a handle.

If the door can't be opened easily in a panicked life or death situation, it's a design flaw and needs to be recalled and fixed.

Yeah like I said they should be a standard door handle.
