Those can fail too. Speed is the main issue. People are going too fastSounds like a terrible scene.
I'll stick with my mechanical latch.

Speed might be part of it, but making latched electrical seems risky to me.Those can fail too. Speed is the main issue. People are going too fast
They can. But less likely to fail then a battery powered electrical latch. Very unlikely that all 4 would fail at once.Those can fail too. Speed is the main issue. People are going too fast
Yeah I see tons of people walking dogs with their heads in their phone. Not a big deal, but very emblematic of where we are.Speed might be part of it, but making latched electrical seems risky to me.
Unrelated to problems getting out of the car, the biggest issue these days, IMO, is driver inattention, texting or otherwise engaging with devices instead of focusing on driving itself. I see driver inattention constantly, both when driving and when out walking the dog. And I keep seeing near misses of a variety that suggests inattention was at fault.

I think the article I posted suggests that the mechanical latch didn't release regardless of how the occupants tried to activate it. Meaning the mechanical portion was at fault, not the electronics to activate it. Which is why another forum member mentioned speed as a factor.Sad. I have a new Model 3 and the manual door handle is located right under the arm rest - very easy to locate and operate. I do like the electric door open switch but when people get into my car who are not familiar with the setup I always explain how the two latches work.
All 4 of the mechanical latches broke?I think the article I posted suggests that the mechanical latch didn't release regardless of how the occupants tried to activate it.

It points to a poor mechanical design with the door latches more than an electronics issues.
Looks like they don’t know yet…All 4 of the mechanical latches broke?
That’s right. It’s all speculation as to the cause.Looks like they don’t know yet…
“Authorities are now investigating the crash and looking into why the four other people inside the car weren’t able to escape the burning vehicle, reports Futurism. The site adds that the findings so far “implicate to some degree” the electric doors that Tesla fits to cars like the Model Y, which require emergency latches to open if the car has no power”
Nothing about the manual releases not working.
True, there’s also a chance they just didn’t know how to open them which shouldn’t be an issue but is. The manual release is pretty obvious once you know it’s there on the Model 3 but I didn’t notice it until I accidentally pulled it two years into owning the car. The article says the back release on the model y is even more difficult to find.That’s right. It’s all speculation as to the cause.
However, it’s not speculation to want our cars to not fail to open in crashes where fires are involved. So whatever the cause, the engineers need to figure it out and ensure it cannot happen again. And, IIRC, Tesla cars have had other reported issues with not opening, as mentioned in the article.
Elon badThat’s right. It’s all speculation as to the cause.

What are you babbling about? I didn't say anything at all about Elon.Elon bad
He needs to stop doing drugs ASAP.Elon Musk said the F-35's makers are 'idiots' for still building manned jets as drone tech rises
Musk, who is set to advise President-elect Donald Trump on government efficiency, has said before that the F-35 program would lose to a drone fighter.www.yahoo.com
FSF coming soon
He is right - makes fiscal and strategic sense.He needs to stop doing drugs ASAP.
You know this due to your advanced degrees in aerospace engineering and decades of military command experience combined with years of US strategic defense experience, do ya?He is right - makes fiscal and strategic sense.
Wrong again - hate to be the one to break it to you - but you have EDS.You know this due to your advanced degrees in aerospace engineering and decades of military command experience combined with years of US strategic defense experience, do ya?
Like you, Musk probably ought to avoid looking moronic for making claims about stuff for which he isn’t trained, and has no practical experience. He could be right or wrong and neither he nor you nor anybody else here has any educated way of actually knowing it.
But he said it so you believe it. Smart.
I always find it funny watching zealots and true believers think they’re winning a debate just by restating how anybody who doesn’t slurp their hero’s sack is wrong without a shred of factual or logical support. 🤣Wrong again - hate to be the one to break it to you - but you have EDS.
Did someone else say he had a hard on for EM? Now he has erectile dysfunction syndrome? Can't be both.Wrong again - hate to be the one to break it to you - but you have EDS.
They are lazy...I always find it funny watching zealots and true believers think they’re winning a debate just by restating how anybody who doesn’t slurp their hero’s sack is wrong without a shred of factual or logical support. 🤣
Strong argument you’ve put up there. 😉
