Sympathy for the mishap. Tesla will fix it free. Not sure I agree with your advice that everyone carry a seatbelt cutter around. If you're looking to reduce the relative risk of rare problems you'd be better off statistically carrying an epi-pen or a fire extinguisher. I understand the threat seems very real to you because you've been through it. Sorry I'm kind of a relative risk nerd.
A common item for this concern is a multipurpose tool that works as a belt cutter or window breaker.
I've never bothered to get one but I've seen a lot of people online swear by having them for emergencies. After an accident one could free someone that is pinned or trapped by the seat belt or by when the doors can't be opened normally due to damage or obstruction.
But odds are if you live in an urban area you can just wait for help. Still if you have small children or live west of the Mississippi in a wide open spaces kind of way you might want the extra insurance?
