These are articles everyone should read.

"The door handles of the Tesla Model S and Model X extend and retract, while the door handles on the Model 3 and Y mechanically flip out when pressed in. But when that fails, the doors need to be opened with a manual door release inside the vehicle to get out. That can happen if there's a loss of power following a crash."

Some of the model years have have no way of opening the doors from either
from the inside or the outside.

We used to burn witches at the stake, now it seems we have the technology to burn then in a Tesla. It is amazing, shocking and tragic.
