rear interior emergency door pull (early Aug 2022 Fremont built cars)?

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
I was reading through the manual (as a new MY owner), and I noticed this comment about the emergency release for interior in the back seats starting with early August 2022 built cars from Fremont. I don't think I have this, but how would I know? I assume it would look just like the front emergency releases. I have a F540*** VIN.

Here's the quote from the manual:

For cars manufactured at the Fremont factory starting approximately early August 2022, you can open a rear door manually in the unlikely situation in which Model Y has no power.

Thanks

Was just reading the other Model 3 thread discussing rear emergency release. The manual has a picture if you just read it:

Video that shows how it works:
 
I have a 2022 Tx built model Y. If you have the door drink holder with the rubber bottom and plastic walls not upholstered then
you have to lift up the rubber bottom, pry up the cover then pull up the foam handle that is attached to the metal release cable...impossible to do in an emergency!!! I bought a pair of emergency release puller straps (8" with snap ring one end and yellow loop other end), cut off the plastic cover plate on the floor of the drink holder, attached the strap leaving the yellow loop outside of the rubber bottom and velcro it to the wall of the drink holder.....looks and works great....just need to pull up the yellow loop to release the door !
 
Here are pics of the emergency release straps and how it looks once installed. Insure you cut off the plastic access door under the rubber floor mat. The back of the yellow part is velcro so if you have the plastic sides on the drink holder just buy a piece of self stick velcro to attach it to. Tuck the black part of the strap under the rubber floor cover. Pulling up the yellow loop pulls up the rubber floor cover and pulls on the release cable all in one easy motion!
