On at least the model 3 and Y it's fairly intuitive for the front seats. For the rear? Not so much.

Note Not all Model Y vehicles are equipped with a manual release for the rear doors.

That's abysmal. Let's make it's extra hard where children are far more likely to be.

And have the presence of mind to do this after a collision and the vehicle is on fire.

There's a reason that building egress (at least for commercial) is the way it is, with things like push bars and opening outwards. It's because people do not think clearly in emergency situations.

… the back doors that have child locks already on them so THEY CANT be opened by said children…?

That’s what argument you want to use? Seriously? Lmfao the shit people come up with sometimes.

The ones that have to be enabled and I haven't stated thoughts on either way?

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yes so what difference does a hard to make emergency access do when in any normal car they can be locked in…?

It’s hard to access so kids CANT open the door while it’s moving and fall out. Thats why vehicles have the child lock feature available… it’s quite sad that you need this explained.

I think their point is that child locks are not on by default?

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

And? A child can be locked in the back of any vehicle with no way out, atleast teslas have a way to still get out… leave it on, and no law an adult is locked back there, with no override to get out. And that’s your Honda, not even a fancy electric car….

The point is, they’re crying about children being locked in the back, yet any current vehicle you’ve been able to chose to do that for bloody decades already, yet a car with a feature to overcome that is being decried. You were locked in the back of your parents car, it’s unsafe for children to be able to open doors while driving, so it’s prevented for their safety.

The hypocrisy that people show just to be mad at something with one actually comprehending why…

Who the fuck thought this up

  1. Remove the mat from the bottom of the rear door pocket.
  2. Press the red tab to remove the access door.
  3. Pull the mechanical release cable forward.

It should be as intuitive as getting out of any car, a regular handle.
