Tesla owners are modifying their cars to be escapable if the car catches fire, because the doors stop working like normal and you need to rely on well-hidden mechanical overrides.

Which... feels pretty dangerous, like that's the worst possible time for the doors to stop working like normal.

You're right. In the new models they changed the rear doors. In the older models it is the same as front.

Bad design choice. Should be easier to get out in an emergency.
