Meh. What makes me scratch my head about any EV is the sheer cost of the power. I heard that it took about $40 to fill up the battery at a fast charge station and then the car only went 250-300 miles and another $40 had to go into the "tank". Then the cost of the vehicle itself is over my ability to pay. The cars are very quick off the line, probably have a good ride, and seem nice, but not at that kind of pocket book lightening. But if folks want to purchase on and deal with the financial aggrivations, good for them. It's just not my cup of tea.
Don't forget, all electric vehicles have an inside manual handle to open the front doors. Some have front and back.
Too many people don't read their owner's manuals.

Bigger battery, bigger fire?
IF, and big IF I ever had a Tesla…I would have a .22 actuated tool in my rig so I can break the windows if ever a fire happened

Tesla model 3 did not have them in the back. The back door can easily jam on all cars if the door is slammed too hard. Traffic accident anyone?
I think this is a shitty safety issue to have with a car. One of those things to think about and check when buying a car.
