    Yeah, doesn’t help much in case of actual emergency does it?

        They did

        The child was safely removed from the car after firefighters used an ax to smash through a window

          I know.

          My response was to the previous comment.

          In a non Tesla, if someone is locked in a car, what happens? There isn’t some secret “let me in” button. You just break a window. This is a dumb story.

            If someone is locked in your car and you’re the owner you simply use the key and open the door, no need to break anything, except in a Tesla.

              Some cars aren’t quite that simple, on newer models they’re hiding the keyhole on the bottom side of the handle behind a cover. But usually those models won’t lock with the keys inside the car

                My keyfob battery was dead and I couldn’t use the hidden keyhole to unlock it. I watched a video on YouTube but I still wasn’t able to make it work. It wasn’t an emergency but I would just break the glass if it was one.

            I mean, presumably if I’m standing outside my car with a key, I just unlock the door and open it. Can’t do that with a dead tesla.

        Yeah, that’s much quicker than just unlocking the door with your fucking key, right?

        Yeah…because breaking the window as your first option in an emergancy is a GREAT idea. No need for a manual handle with a key, right? What a stupid idea that would be.

          It’s not your first option in an emergency. Normally you just open the door. Breaking the glass is several layers of things-not-working deep.

        Agree. The only worry is the flying glass might hurt the child.

          Tempered glass is designed to not be sharp when broken. But they break a window furthest from the person inside to limit damage.

          They can also use some tools to remove the window in mostly one piece after cracking it, rather than smashing it and sending glass flying.

            Tempered glass is still sharp but it breaks into tiny pieces so it can’t cut deeply.
