Whenever essential functions (e.g. access) are powered, they’re supposed to have manual overrides. I’m pretty sure this is a regulatory requirement even here in the States where we’re stupid and regulatory agencies are mostly captured.
So WTF happened, Tesla? Where’s the manual override for when the battery fails?
It’s basic safety for industrial plants to designate powered equipment as “fail open” or “fail closed” or on/off. It’s shocking that this wasn’t applied to Tesla cars.
We really need an industry that performs industrial grade HAZOPs on consumer products and publishes a report for everyone to see.

That’s for if you’re inside, a mechanical access has to exist on the outside as well, no?

No. You just need to be able to exit without power. Getting back in mechanically isn’t a requirement.
It should be, but it’s not.

Damn, even fighter jets have an external override. They’re even labeled for rescue workers.

You can also “jump” the car to open it via a 12V access port in the front.

Yeah, doesn’t help much in case of actual emergency does it?

Those are inside the car, doesn’t help if there’s a toddler stuck in the car.
