Whenever essential functions (e.g. access) are powered, they're supposed to have manual overrides. I'm pretty sure this is a regulatory requirement even here in the States where we're stupid and regulatory agencies are mostly captured.

So WTF happened, Tesla? Where's the manual override for when the battery fails?

That's for if you're inside, a mechanical access has to exist on the outside as well, no?

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 47 points 5 months ago

No. You just need to be able to exit without power. Getting back in mechanically isn't a requirement.

It should be, but it's not.

Damn, even fighter jets have an external override. They're even labeled for rescue workers.

I don't know who Jettison Canopy is but I hope he's around when you need to do this.

A car window is a lot easier to shatter than a fighter jet canopy.

Not these Teslas, from what I understand. The type of glass they use is EXTREMELY resistant to shattering.
