So as a counter, how many folks here have actually tried to use the emergency release on the back doors in a Refresh Model S? If you have never tried, sit in the back seat, start a timer, and see how long it takes you. Don't cheat by looking at the manual first, since we know most back seat passengers most likely have never read the manual, even most owners have not read and understood the section on the emergency release. Seriously, try it and report back. Be honest.Unless you are unconscious and/or trapped, you should have absolutely no issue whatsoever evacuating from a battery fire.
Even if you think you know, try it anyway. You will likely be surprised how long it takes. It took me about 10 minutes. I will let others explain why after they try.
