Tesla has faced criticism in the past for the design of its manual release levers, which are considered poorly designed and unintuitively placed.

I like how the article delivered that fact in a way that focuses on their inadequacy while highlighting their existence. It's like "we know they had a backup option, so shut up. They still weren't good enough to be available for the emergency when they're hidden behind shit.

If I put a half-wall up in my house in front of a visible window that can be used as emergency egress, I'm in shit. This hidden latch is no better.
