The Elon Musk-owned automaker has a troubling history of owners getting locked in their cars without power. Some of these cases may be down to user error, since most Teslas come with manual release levers.
Of course, let’s blame the users 🙄
Why isn’t there a manual mechanism for the door? Why didn’t the passengers use an emergency glass hammer? Why isn’t there an emergency release for the door?
I’d expect that the passengers may not have known about the emergency releases. It’s also possible the releases failed, but all of them?
The article does a poor job of mentioning that those releases are standard to the vehicle. It’s discussed elsewhere in this thread too, where they also provided the Model Y’s manual.

When my friend was riding in a tesla they just assumed the emergency latch was the proper way to open the door and pulled that one instead, didn’t even see the button.
Edit: also note, some model Ys don’t have that rear emergency one. Guess you could climb out of the car using the trunk latch.
Fair. Not sure what occurred.
