What's the big deal...Yes, I'm talking about the rear doors (what the reviewer seems concerned about).
I'm certainly no expert on this, but don't the door releases work from the 12V system? Even if the high voltage system is disabled, won't the REAR door releases still work? How frequently is the 12V system disabled from a crash; only the worst 5% of crashes (where the doors wouldn't open anyway?
Not a criticism, just curious to know either way.
Okay, re-stating my question more clearly (edit in CAPS).
I work with a lot of this Detroit/GM specialist... One thing that I have learn is that they know s***.... Haha. You would think they are the smartest of the smartest but they are not.
Clearly #2 if the doors don't open! I mean, they can spend time dicking around trying to figure out why the door won't open, or they can smash the glass.In order to extract people from the rear seats, esp. if all 3 rear seats are occupied, which is easier?
- by opening the rear door
- breaking the window and pulling them out via the rear window, also risking the possibility of cuts to the rescuer and people inside

Alternately, how many owners do you suppose even know how to find/operate the manual release for the Model S and Model X rear doors?You’re correct that it’s rare for a car crash to take out the 12 volt power. In my opinion, this gnashing of teeth about the rear doors is much ado about nothing, because a severe accident that takes out the 12 volt power will probably result in extraction techniques (Jaws of Life and/or Halligan tools).
Screechy Gramps: "...the Teeezla Fan Bois....."The initial segment is mostly clickbait.
New material due out this week. The initial segment is mostly clickbait. It will be interesting to see what he comes up with RE driving dynamics, though. I would think it will be a lot harder to find fault than with fit, finish and frunk releases.
