A Tesla driver and two kids were burned alive after crashing into a tree because rescuers were unable to open the electronic doors, according to police.
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.
