Most likely with an impact that severe, the passengers were either killed or incapacitated on impact, especially giving the fact none of the others were noticed trying to escape when the bystander broke out a window.
The front doors do have easily accessible manual releases on all of the models.
That being said, for the ones 'equipped' with the emergency feature for the rear, it is a manual release cable buried under the speaker grill, which is something very few passengers would know about in the first place, much less have the presence of mind or physical capability to remove the speaker grill and find/pull the cable.
Does my model 3 from 21 refresh have this cable? I couldn't spot it...
Did you read your manual? There are variations and it’s important for you to know your car.
It's not buried under the speaker grill on my model Y. Its under a rubber thing that has a grab handle and then a big bright red tab. Wouldn't be my pick for the design of the year, but it's there. Sure as shit needs to be a sticker on the door panel illustrating that though.
