Always have an emergency hammer in your car to break a window
I have a Civic with a manual door handle, but after reading your comment ... I think I'm going to get one to leave in the car just in case.
Should your car ever wind up submerged in water a hammer could come in handy. Make sure it's a "break glass" type hammer, which has a point. Thick tempered glass is surprisingly strong.
Would that work in a car that purports to have bulletproof windows?
Only the tesla truck claims to be bullet proof. This happened in a model y and the 5th person in the car narrowly survived because a bystander smashed the window.
Hmm yeah, didn't think of that
The spring-loaded kind are a lot easier to use in a cramped car and by people with less upper body strength. However, those won't work on newer cars with dual-pane or laminated glass
I've seen people say that emergency window hammers don't work with Tesla windows as they're laminated in current models.
