Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash

Another problem with some teslas (and other vehicles) is that there are switching to laminate for the side window glass for strength purposes. These devices wont work in a survival situation if your car has laminated windows. LINK

I have heard it’s easy to kick out the windshield, but I’ve never had to test that theory.

I’ve tried to kick them out in a taxi driver fainting situation, it’s really not trivial, particularly if you’re the only one in the back.

  Tempered glass is much stronger than people imagine. It breaks easily with the proper tool but without one there’s a good chance it wont no matter how hard one hits and kicks it.
