Hello,
I had an accident, car is currently fully locked how to access the dashboard need to get the USB
This car is model Y 2022 and not responding to mobile or key. Front side got heavy damage
Would appreciate if any ideas to open the car.
 
Do you know if the first responders (fire fighters) cut the first responder loop and cut the negative lead to the 12v battery? If so, you may have to wait until the car is at a repair shop and 12v power restored before you can open the doors and access the glovebox.

Alternatively, if the car is probably totaled, you can break the passenger-side window and pull the manual door release to open the door. Once inside, the below video shows how to open the glovebox.

Thanks MY1stEV!
I don't think first responder cut any negative lead. I was able access the front left side (bumper with round cap) and connect with 12v with that front truck was opened but was unable to open the car or trunk.
