It's sort of amazing, these cars meet the safety regulations of the countries they are sold in. Or is it a case that no one has been this dumb before and they haven't had to regulate for it?

    This is not unique to Teslas. Any car with electric door and window locks can trap you inside if the power fails. Normally this is just inconvenient but if that vehicle is on fire or submerged it can be life threatening.

    LPT always make sure you know where the manual door release is located. Also if your car drives into water immediately roll down the windowa before the power fails.
