RapidcreekMitch McConnell’s billionaire sister-in-law Angela Chao made panicked last call before dying in ‘completely submerged’ Tesla on Texas ranch: report
Kalkaline If your car ever gets submerged, in unbuckle your seatbelt, roll the windows down and once the water gets high enough in the car, you can open the door or climb through the window. This is pure panic from someone who should know better.
In an old car with crank windows, that’ll work. In a new car, the electrics have to still be working, and in a Tesla the OS has to still be running.
There is a mechanical emergency release on the doors. All my friends tend to find that if I don’t preemptively tell them to press the button with the minus sign.
hidden behind the speakers.
YarHarSuperstarWhy are you in emergency situations in your car so often that all your friends have to know about the button?
If it’s a Tesla I believe the emergency release will break the glass if it’s fully rolled up.
It does not. I used the emergency release on my brother’s Model 3 a few times. It may do a little bit of damage to the rubber window gasket each time. This will agitate the car owner.
Its more of a “can” thing rather than a “will” thing. I’ve had plenty of passengers use the emergency release instead of the real button and no broken windows yet. But I’m on my 4th windshield. Yeah rocks and ice chunks falling off an overpass.
I never said I was in an emergency situation. I said my friends tend to find the emergency release button rather than the one that actually opens the door.
