wait so regarding the tesla transmission, when the computer is functional, the gears would work like everyone expects right?

park: actually apply the handbrake
neutral: allow the car to roll/be pushed around even if it's not a true neutral with the clutch out
tow mode: do ??? extra to make it safer to push around

is it just when the computer is hosed that it's impossible to move at all, presumably because there's too much resistance from the motors?

i feel like it's a bitcoin thing where "you must be explaining it wrong, it can't possibly be this stupid"

neutral turns to park when the car detects you’ve left the car

neutral cuts power to the motor, but the parking brake engages automatically when you exit the vehicle. to disable that you need to enable transport mode, which needs the computer to function

all the external handles on every tesla (except the original roadster, which is a lotus) are purely electronic and don't work if the battery is dead

getting out from the inside with a dead battery is a different process for each car and seating position

model s front: pull the handle until it stops, then pull harder past that stop and it will pop the door
model s rear: fold down the carpet under the seat and pull a hidden cable

model x front: same as model s, pull the handle past the normal stop
model x rear: pry off the speaker cover inside the door and pull a hidden cable, then lift the door

model 3 front: find the secret lever hidden in front of the armrest and pull it. do not use this in normal circumstances as it will damage the door trim
model 3 rear: can't open the doors. crawl out through the front, lol

iirc the 'hidden cable' in the second example is literally a piece of twine, and not even good quality stuff. so just as likely to shred in your hand as to do its job of letting you out in a crash situation, especially after baking in the interior of the door under the hot sun for who knows how long.

Hi, r/tesla! So, ummmm... my M3 is on fire and I can't get the doors to open and there's a huuuuuggge wait to get through to Tesla support on the phone. Anyone know anything about how to pop one of these babies open? XD

Please reply. The flames are getting nearer and some of my flesh is beginning to roast. :(

on one hand when you call 911 and your tesla rears to life and goes after the firetruck there might be water


on the other hand that probably wont actually do anything

thankfully there's a handy tool for getting out of your tesla when the doors won't open that fits into the palm of your hand



it's a spring loaded center punch. if you've never seen one of these before, they're really useful for marking metal/wood and shattering the gently caress out of tempered glass.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdeHk3CjgB0

it takes very little force to trigger one and it immediately destroys tempered glass. note this will not work on the windshield which has laminated glass to prevent shattering of this sort. most firefighters i know have these or something very similar they keep handy.

Please try to keep a proper glass breaker with an integrated belt cutter if you want any kind of escape tool in your car. A center punch is better than nothing, but its got some flaws compared to a glass breaker.

1. Due to the position in your palm, you will likely push your hand through the glass shards. It's safety glass, but it can still cut you.

2. The punch will roll around everywhere in your car and can easily be lost in the event of an accident.

3. Getting rid of the belt can pose an even greater challenge than cracking a window. So if you are concerned about escaping (mainly because you live in the mountains or by a lake/river/sea) a belt cutter is even more important than the Coolio glass breaker that you can impress your friends with at the bar.
