Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash
The only survivor of the October 24 fire was a woman in her 20s who was able to get to safety after a quick thinking passer-by smashed a window of the burning Model Y car to free her

Friendly reminder that everyone should have one of these seatbelt-cutter-window-hammer things in their glovebox
Wouldn’t be a good look for that wankpanzer if a $5 tool from Walmart could bust through its windows. Better call it a Cyber-izer and sell it for $200.
And make it in black or gray so it's impossible to find in an emergency👌
Before you can use it, you need to solve a Captcha.
Another problem with some teslas (and other vehicles) is that there are switching to laminate for the side window glass for strength purposes. These devices wont work in a survival situation if your car has laminated windows. LINK
I have heard it's easy to kick out the windshield, but I've never had to test that theory.
I've tried to kick the side rear window out in a taxi driver fainting situation, it's really not trivial, particularly if you're the only one in the back.
Tempered glass is much stronger than people imagine. It breaks easily with the proper tool but without one there's a good chance it wont no matter how hard one hits and kicks it.
Gotta love a broken spark plug..
Just bippin' and boppin' along.
Aren't Tslas the ones with glove boxes that have to be opened through the console menu?
Also never go out the drivers side. That Window is more expensive
Ahh yes, the window that is worth more than my life.
Well you should really be thinking about the long term.
The front window is made to be easily kicked out from the inside.
In a normal car anyways.
I have one, but the issue is being able to find it in an emergency and remembering that it's there. It's like girls I've known with a 9mm, uh, somewhere, uh, just in case. You actually have to practice some.
For example; Every time my wife starts burning something in the kitchen I get out of my chair and go to the fire extinguisher. Muscle memory is a thing.
I love this idea, I'm going to start practicing it myself.
