Numerous Tesla owners have said they’ve been stuck inside their EVs after the cars suddenly lost power.
YouTuber Tom Exton claimed that his Tesla Model Y ordered him to pull over before it suddenly lost power and left him unable to exit.
Exton followed the instructions for the manual release to open the door, but he said this “somehow broke the driver’s window.”
I feel like these people are incredibly disingenuous. If I’m in a hot car and want to make an exaggerated example out of what I think is bad design, I act like these people. If I’m in a hot car, stuck and panicking, I’m thinking about how much a window costs for about half a minute, and then I break a window.
It’s actually not very easy to break car windows out from inside a car without a tool. You can do it, but it’s harder than you’d think (like, I wouldn’t want to try doing it in a car which fell into a lake or something).

I guess I just assumed most people have one of those window breaking tools that cost like 5 dollars.
