The kind that thinks the Cybertruck is a good use of money in the first place?

Of course not. What kind of man would want to see his family burned with him in a fiery death trap?

This could be said about any EV ever that uses lithium ion batteries.

No, most doors have fucking handles.

I was mistaken in my assumption, Figured the Tesla would have an obvious clear way to escape quickly without power in an emergency but no.

Teslas are especially unsafe, and often lock people inside when they fail. This is because Tesla is run by one of the dumbest men who ever lived.

U mean there isn’t any manual override at all?

yes but actually no. There’s a hidden pull cord under the bottom mat of the “map pocket” that you have to remove, along with whatever else you were storing in there at the time. That’s assuming the cord hasn’t fallen out of reach inside the door or otherwise become inaccessible during the accident, of course.
The owner’s manual section on “how to open the door if there’s no power” spans 4 pages (viewed on mobile) and has 3 diagrams to illustrate the steps.
(incidentally, opening the frunk with no power is a separate page with ten steps and begins, “To open the powered frunk when Cybertruck has no power, you need a power source that provides between 9V and 16.5V”… it’s like they’re trying to be shit.)
