Tesla isn't the only culprit here. Any manufacturer that makes cars with electric doors should be required to also have a prominent and easily reachable manual override, instead of hiding a tiny lever underneath the armrest or on the floor, or behind the person's seat on the pillar somewhere, or any fucking place that isn't where you would expect a door handle to be.
On at least the model 3 and Y it's fairly intuitive for the front seats. For the rear? Not so much.

That's abysmal. Let's make it's extra hard where children are far more likely to be.
And have the presence of mind to do this after a collision and the vehicle is on fire.
There's a reason that building egress (at least for commercial) is the way it is, with things like push bars and opening outwards. It's because people do not think clearly in emergency situations.
