Tesla recalls 120,000 vehicles over potentially faulty doors that could open in a crash::Tesla is recalling Tesla Model S luxury sedans and Model X SUVs manufactured in 2022 and 2023 due to the vehicles’ failure to comply with U.S. government regulations.
Only the front ones, no?
No. Even the rear ones. The manual for some of them (some Model 3’s, for example) says that there are only manual release switches for the front, which is true, but some people confuse that for the rear not having a manual release at all. There’s a cable that you pull that’s under the liner in the rear doors. The higher-end models have dedicated buttons in the rear.
Edit: I checked YouTube to post a video of how the cable release works and found that some Model 3’s do not have the removable liner where the release cable is. They may not all have them which means that my answer is wrong in a few cases.
A security feature should never be hidden away though. Someone getting a lift might not know it’s there.
Totally agree this is like an escape room you didn’t sign up for. “Please solve the following clues to open door”
I agree wholeheartedly. That wasn’t what was asked or said, though. The statement was that the rear doors don’t have a release. They do. End of story.
