love too have my self driving software turn off seconds before my car slams into a semi truck going 100mph, so I can be blamed posthumously for not having enough personal responsibility
Only the front doors have a manual release. So what will your child in the back seat do in the situation of a crash, and the battery is compromised causing a loss of power and threat of combustion?
You don’t like, see if things work and stuff? Maybe I’m too used to having to deal with old beaters but checking if doors can be opened from the inside is a critical safety check. Its like checking to see if the seatbelts work. Do you ever drive people around?
So until today, you didn’t know that you could potentially have locked someone in a ball of hot death because you assumed everything was fine because it looks cool
And your attitude about that horrifying revelation, is the equivalent of a snide shrug
Any car can potentially be a ball of hot death for the people inside. What do you expect me to do, sell the vehicle because some day I might hit all the points necessary for someone to be trapped in the back seat and at risk of harm or death? When I rarely ever have anyone back there? That’s fucking ludicrous and a perfect fuck_cars take.
I don’t think you understand the forces at play here. Gasoline burns at around 1000°c while lithium burns at over 2000°c. There is also the firefighting efforts about it (which is my job) which really suck. For a normal car or diesel fire with a water source we can fight the fire with foam, no problem. The NFPA doesn’t even require us to carry Class D (metal fires) fire extinguishers on our trucks. We do have them on our trucks but they are designed for like, small appliances mostly, they don’t have enough powder to actually manage a Tesla power system. We have to pull out whoever is inside then basically wait for the dump truck (literally a dump truck full of sand) to show up so we can glass most of the car in order to deny oxygen. Electric cars are a fucking grift, transport should be powered with overhead wires, maybe third rails.
Edit: also if you aren’t car pooling why do you own a car? Why enter the “fuck cars” fray if you aren’t anti-car?
Did they fix the fact you can’t open the door from the inside if the power is out without an instruction manual and fingernails?

The fuck are you talking about? There is a regular-sized door handle right there.

Oh wow, I did not notice that. Now THAT is a problem.
Wait aren’t you the one who actually owns one of these lithium sand buckets?
Believe it or not I don’t spend much time in the back seat.

I think it’s a cool feature tbh
