Expect those investigations to quietly go away or turn up nothing in about two months from now.

"Fuck elon musk"
Car: "Error: Electronic Lock Malfunction. Please say 'I love Elon Musk' to begin troubleshooting."
This reminds me... I need a glass breaking hammer for safety in my non Tesla car.
They might all have one but if not, get one that has a seat belt cutter on it. And keep it in the front console, not anywhere in the back or in the glove compartment.
I knew someone (an acquaintance, we weren't close) who died in a crash because their seatbelt got stuck and they couldn't get out. They had one of those cutter hammer combos but it was in the back seat. Absolutely nightmarish.

Turn onto your back with your feet towards the door/ window, grab the steering wheel and the doorward edge of the seat, and kick out the window with both feet. This can also be done from a passenger seat as well.
Has this been tested out in a Tesla? I wouldn't put it past them to make it literally inescapable

Ah when you try to reinvent the the wheel, fail, and then kill people with it
Find a good lawyer and sue the living shit out of Tesla and "Leon." I agree with the majority of the comments.

"when a crash disabled its electronic doors."
Female AI voice: Please stay in your seats with your seat belts on until Elon has been notified of this incident.
See? This. This is why I don't trust my safety to electronic systems. The fancy computer controlled locks and latches are great when they work. When they don't, shit like this happens.
At least most cars still have a physical connection between the door handle and the locking mechanism. Not Tesla, for no good goddamned reason.
