    That’s abysmal. Let’s make it’s extra hard where children are far more likely to be.

      And have the presence of mind to do this after a collision and the vehicle is on fire.

      There’s a reason that building egress (at least for commercial) is the way it is, with things like push bars and opening outwards. It’s because people do not think clearly in emergency situations.

      … the back doors that have child locks already on them so THEY CANT be opened by said children…?

      That’s what argument you want to use? Seriously? Lmfao the shit people come up with sometimes.

        An emergency release should bypass the child locks. Looks like you’re the one lacking imagination.

          The emergency release does bypass the child lock. That’s why it’s in a hidden spot in the back doors, because otherwise the child lock would be pointless.

          And the reason why it’s hard to access is so a kid can’t accidentally open it and fall out….

          Having it bypass the child locks defeats the singular purpose of the child lock lmfao. What is with these arguments?

            You can have adults sitting at the back with child lock on, you want any emergency system to bypass other systems that might block them.

            Please, never work in safety.

              You should NEVER have an adult in the back with the child lock on… since they couldn’t escape in an emergency….

              Normal vehicles don’t have a bypass, so an adult would be locked in any vehicle if it was on….

              Tesla’s atleast have a feature to overcome this….

              It’s quite sad that you needed this explained…. Do you even own a drivers license? If you do, please turn it in for the safety of everyone on the road, not just the adults you lock in the back seat…

                I guess you never forgot anything in your life.

                Did you know you shouldn’t carry people in your trunk? Yet by law the trunk needs to have a (glow in the dark!) way to be opened from the inside if it’s not a hatchback vehicle. Crazy right?

                An emergency measure has a purpose, it’s to be used in an emergency. If it can be bypassed then it fails as an emergency measure. What’s funny is that Tesla agrees because the emergency door release bypasses child lock, like it should.

                  Sure I have, and adults can be locked in the back of a normal car with zero way out.

                  Yet you want to argue that a hard to access release is bad…?

                  When this problem in a worse way has already ex is Ted for decades…?

                  Childlocks have zero override, and Teslas do, and yet the argument is child safety…? It’s unsafe for children to be able to open doors while driving, so it’s prevented for their safety. So now there is conflicting safety laws…… you didn’t see that coming now did you? Yeah…

                  Yes I know it overrides it… that’s not the argument. The argument was, children could be back there, it’s a stupid argument since you can lock them in the back to ANY vehicle, (but Tesla as you stupidly pointed out to ruin your own argument….), so to cry the children can’t find it… is the stupidest fucking argument that could be used to decry this…

                  Do you need this explained again? Or can you finally comprehend why the argument about children is a red herring?

                  Trunks don’t have a manual release in the back…. That why they require one…. If they had a manual handle, they wouldn’t require the other handle. As you said hardback don’t need one, why? Because you can crawl into the front where you have access to a manual handle.

                  You seem to know the rules, but not why, yet you insult that I shouldn’t be in safety? Maybe you should comprehend the rules instead of just knowing them, massive difference and you’ve shown your massively lacking surface knowledge while defending “children could be back there). You know wheee they can be locked in with no escape in ANY OTHER VEHILCE… lmfao you’re not very bright dude.

                  But I’m done explaining simple things to someone who can only argue, the children!!! While missing the entire point….

          Yes so what difference does a hard to make emergency access do when in any normal car they can be locked in…?

          It’s hard to access so kids CANT open the door while it’s moving and fall out. Thats why vehicles have the child lock feature available… it’s quite sad that you need this explained.

              And? A child can be locked in the back of any vehicle with no way out, atleast teslas have a way to still get out… leave it on, and no law an adult is locked back there, with no override to get out. And that’s your Honda, not even a fancy electric car….

              The point is, they’re crying about children being locked in the back, yet any current vehicle you’ve been able to chose to do that for bloody decades already, yet a car with a feature to overcome that is being decried. You were locked in the back of your parents car, it’s unsafe for children to be able to open doors while driving, so it’s prevented for their safety.

              The hypocrisy that people show just to be mad at something with one actually comprehending why…
