    In the panic of your flesh getting pretty hot, you gotta remember “use the manual release lever”.

    If you’re in the front seat.

    If you’re in the back seat you:

    1. Hope your model Y is equipped with a manual lever.
    2. Assuming you are still alive (see (1)) - Remove the mat from the bottom of the rear door pocket.
    3. Press the red tab to remove the access door.
    4. Pull the mechanical release cable forward.

    I hope your kids and passengers paid attention to the training video you had them watch.

        Yeah - and as somebody reminded me in another thread it’s because you can damage the window by using it.

        It’s such a well-designed car.

            The reason it’s “hidden” is to prevent it from being used when the car is NOT on fire.

            It’s a well-designed car.
