    The manual door release is so hard to find that most time, passengers not knowing Tesla cars use them.

    If you can’t find the door release, maybe you are too dumb to drive a 2 tons car with other humans.

      Model X: If the power drops out, you can open the rear doors using a mechanical release found behind the speaker grille, which you need to remove from the vehicle’s door, the manual adds.

      Ah yes, if I can’t get out of a car, my first thought would be to dismantle the speaker grille.
