      In this case the first responder was just some guy working at the corner store. He only had a fire extinguisher, but for basically any other car brand that would have been fine: open the door, drag people out, spray the fire, good enough probably.

      But these people were in a Tesla, which requires electricity to open the doors (or a hidden manual release that can only be used from inside and involves several unintuitive steps)

        Fair enough, I just read the headline and saw the picture of people in yellow vests. If you want me to read the article I’ll need another coffee.

          Even if it was the way you assumed, a sawzall would have a tough time getting through most Tesla doors, it’d be useless on a cyber truck. Tesla is the problem here.
