    Moreover, with the Model Y in particular, not all vehicles come with manual releases for the rear doors, as Tesla warns in the car’s manual. It’s unclear if the Model Y involved in the crash was equipped with the emergency feature.

      Ok but they didn’t open the front doors either. This is an argument of “the emergency latch is not clear enough”, pretending there is no match is a losing argument

        When you’re dying if smoke inhalation the subtle difference between “hard to find” and “not existent” door latches doesn’t matter - they’re effectively the same.
