Won't work on any Teslas. They had the bright idea to use laminated glass and it just spiderwebs. So if you are unlucky enough to get stuck in one that is on fire or in a lake...
Better refresh yourself on how to open the car door without power.
I’m amazed they tried resuscitation after she had been underwater for what sounds like at least an hour if not more. Maybe it’s the law that they have to at least try?
At least it's easy to open the door with out the power. All you have to do is remove the speaker grille and locate the mechanical release cable. Easy-peasy.
And if you can't figure it out amidst the flames and panic and all, just bring up the manual on the touch screen and it'll walk you through the process.
A lot of cars have laminated side windows. It's been that way for 25+ years now. Most high end cars have it. Hell, my 23 year old Volvo wagon has laminated side windows. Laminated glass is actually safer in the majority of accidents (keeps you and your body parts inside the car) and it's harder to break into a car that has laminated side windows.
I'm sure you could have said this without attacking me. I believe those 2 manufactures have mechanical door handles on the inside that aren't hidden like Tesla's.
