I hate to be the voice of reason here, but if you get inside a powerful device to pilot it you should at minimum read the directions first.

    But you could read the article first...

    Exton followed the instructions for the manual release to open the door, but he said this "somehow broke the driver's window."

    Yes I have read the entire thing. I paid enough for it I better know how to use it.

    Lemmy sure does love name calling! It's such a mature and productive way to carry on a conversation!

    I mean literally I paid 60k-ish all together for my two cars , why is it so hard to believe? I didn't read it cover to cover, like all the detailed specifications, and the index and all that kind of stuff, I didn't memorize the maintenance schedules for Canada and Mexico, but all the explanations of all the features? Of course I read all of that. It takes just 2-3 hours to go through it all, even sitting in the car and trying everything out as I go. It's a super small time investment into something I'm going to own for several years. I spend way more time on a weekly basis on leisure activities like playing games.

    I bought a new car recently, and I looked up how to get in, open the hood and jump start it if it has a dead battery, how to get in and start it with a dead keyfob, etc before I ever took delivery.

    A bit of knowledge turns a major problem into a 5 minute problem. That said, it sounds like following the directions and using the manual release didn't work very well.
