Tesla blamed the victims claiming the doors could still be opened manually and they didn't even "try". But where did they put the manual door releases? I can't remember which model it was in which accident, but the "oops power's off, use the manual door handle" handle was somewhere on the floor of the car by the side of the seat?
That's a standards violating, deadly, design failure.

@johannab @kajord @ai6yr @Rycaut BTW: China forbade the use of these kind of door handles recently. I hope they do the same in the US and Europe and that the cars with those handles are recalled.
