Everyone keeps commenting mad about "mechanical doors". Y'all. All Tesla's have mechanical release doors. There is caveat on the rear doors:

Model S: Front and rear doors have manual release

Model 3: Front doors; rear doors only on the Model 3 Highland update

Model X: Front doors and rear Falcon Wing doors

Model Y: Front doors; some rear doors

There was one commenter smart enough to caveat the manual release should be easily accessible. I think that's a much better argument, because you can't think straight when you're panicking. But for the love of God, spend 2 seconds thinking before writing your comment.

There are a lot of safety situations where you need a mechanical release, where you won't be able to find the mechanical release if it's a separate control. Obviously the door itself is mechanical. What people are unhappy about is that it doesn't easily open in some types of emergencies. Case in point.
