@carstenfranke @jalefkowit This tool wonˋt help. You can destroy the Windows - and then? Wehre is the inside handle to open the door?

@carstenfranke @jalefkowit ...
To quote the funiest part: "Das Gute daran ist, dass Sie im Handbuch nachsehen können, wo sich die mechanischen Entriegelungen befinden, während Sie im Fahrzeug sitzen. Wenn Sie in einem Auto mit elektrischer Verriegelung des Handschuhfachs sitzen, müssen Sie es im Notfall eventuell aufhebeln. Sie können aber auch einfach über die mobile App Ihres Fahrzeugs auf das Handbuch zugreifen, was die Suche nach den Informationen erleichtern sollte." After an accident!

@khgu @jalefkowit oh wow, these are insane suggestions... You will not have time... There was an incident here in the US where several teenagers died in a Tesla that caught on fire, not a big accident, but it lost power and they could not open the doors or windows. Bystanders could not get in either, and they could not break the windows. I do have one of these hammers on my car...

@carstenfranke @jalefkowit I know. This is the reason my hybrid-car has mechanical handles inside and on lock with mechanical key outside. KISS - keep it simple, stupid.

BTW: it is a very good idea to have a glassbreaker with seat belt cutter with you, offcourse.
