The ones in the rear are hidden under a mat in the door.

The model X requires you to remove the speaker grill to manually open the door.

You know, nice and intuitive.

Do these panels and speaker grills at least have a tooless design so they’re easy to remove if you’re aware of them? This design just sounds so dumb.

It looks like it, but they're still hidden. If you didn't know to look under a mat while you're car is fire I doubt it would be easy to find.

The article also says that not all model Y have releases in the rear, so even if you know 'well my model Y has them here' you still might be screwed.

So glad I never had the opportunity to get a Tesla way back when I thought they were cool new tech.
