Was gonna reply to your points but I'm not gonna do the research for you lol
Please tell me, how a door that doesn't open if the power goes out is a good idea?
I know that you can manually open it if you rip out some speaker grills and pull at a hidden lever. But try to remember that in an accident where you accidently drove into a pond, because you didn't realize the car was in reverse because a touchscreen has no haptic feedback of the state the car is in.
Turns out I did do a bit of research after all

All of them have an easy way to open the doors, although it's true that on some of them only the front doors have a manual release.
I guess that's where my info was coming from.
Edit: The fact that this was such a problem that the business insider needed to publish the info speaks for itself, IMHO. Yes, it might be stated in the manual. But you want that shit to be obvious and intuitive in cases of emergency (when you'd need that feature).
Yeah, that doesn't speak to me as "an easy way".
On the model 3 and I think on some other models it's literally right besides the window controls, it's impossible to miss it.
Too bad if you have any passengers who need to get out quickly.
Yeah I got nothing for that lol, that sucks
Wait until you hear about cars which don't have rear doors at all!
lol. U fr?
I Coupé been joking...
I’m not familiar with any Tesla that requires ripping speaker grills out to open a door. The mechanical door handles that are added for emergency use are perhaps too intuitive due to their prominence over the electronic opener.
The manual door release hidden behind the speaker grill It's in the user manual for the model X.
Good to know — I’m not familiar with the X as much.
