Well, that is funny.
However the battery didn't explode, the truck bed was full of gasoline cans and fireworks.
And the steel body of the truck bed actually did a great job of containing the explosion, focusing it mostly upward. The sheriff points out that the windows in the all glass front of that hotel weren't even shattered because the blast was so well contained by the truck.
Yeah, teslas are quite good at keeping things inside during emergency situations.
Like people.
Zing?
Zing.
People in teslas back when they did regularly catch fire from hitting road debris had no trouble pulling over and getting out before fire got into the cabin
They don't need electricity to open the doors, and owners should really tell passengers how to open the doors manually
Search for whichever model's user manual for your country if you want to see how to open the doors
Or, just hear me out, they could design the door so that people can intuitively figure out how to manually open the door in an emergency.
When it's not an emergency the button to open the door is nice, and it's hardly ever an emergency. The manual opening is easy enough that knowing about it is enough
"It's hardly ever an emergency"
Yeah, except for when it is.... dipshit.
I'd like to introduce you, for the very first time it seems, to the inherent nature of emergencies in general. Sorry the adults in your life all failed you (as us in turn)
Unmarked jokes about teslas don't seem to perform well here
I actually own a Tesla 3 which has (like all 3s) no emergency release in the back, so I added glass breaking hammers both sides
I do understand that emergency actions need to both easy and trained so a pull string in the door pocket isn't nearly as good as a handle and even better you don't need to tell every passenger how to get out when it's a lever rather than a button
Not a good joke when comment is believable as 100% sincere from typical musk sycophant
The joke was the bit about emergencies being uncommon
Dude... you're exhausting. Your tesla rattles and is overall poorly made
It has perfect gaps, blocks most road noise, has no squeaks or rattles.
It doesn't. And if it did, that's not factory.
Well that sounds like an odd propaganda moment then...
Literally a case of "Weird flex, but ok"
