So happy my car is not a tesla.
This isn’t a Tesla or EV problem though. How many back doors have child safety locks?

This is what it says on their website. Hope you've got the link handy if you're in a crash, and also that you're not in one that doesn't have this...
It's so easy! When you get in a crash are panicking and disoriented, who needs a simple quick lever that's there at all times??? Simply follow these complicated 3 steps to extract yourself from the burning vehicle!

Are you kidding meeeee
Look it's very simple if you get in a crash and are on fire.
Stop. Drop. Roll. Remove the mat from the bottom of the rear door pocket. Press the red tab to remove the access door. Pull the mechanical release cable forward. Remember that not all Model Y vehicles are equipped with a manual release for the rear doors. Die.
Rolls right off the tongue. If you're still in trouble call 0118 999 88199 9119 725 3.

Door handles are ugly though.
Worth a few lives to get them out of the way.
And don't you know how many cents a door handle costs? Christ, we're not made of money.

Always have an emergency tool in your car to break your windows in case this shit happens to you. Even if you're in a car not designed by a god damn moron.
Didn't these used to be part of the seat belt? Has that standard changed?

Is this satire?
What makes you think this is satire?
It seems bizarre plus the website URL seems like a satire site
The Mirror is a British tabloid shitrag. A bunch of racist, shit-stirring, xenophobic hate-filled amateur "journalists" just trying to get clicks for ad revenue
Never click a post from them
Search for "canada October tesla burns" and you'll find other websites like this one https://www.yahoo.com/news/four-passengers-die-burning-tesla-221448673.html
