Is it still user-friendly if you need to exit in an emergency, like a fire?

It’s 100% the car I’d choose to escape from in a fire emergency — there’s nothing wrong with the doors or handles, and there’s less risk of me dying by explosion because the fire has no gas tank to spread to.

Gas doesn’t explode, that’s just in movies. It does burn though, just like batteries. Not a case for gas cars over EVs, but Tesla and their retracting door handles, or handles that don’t work without power (like from a fire), are definitely reasons why I wouldn’t choose Tesla over another EV.

Sorry for sensationalizing too much for you. My statement stands that I’m still safer in my Tesla than in another car.

Tesla doors work in the unlikely event they’ve lost power: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-AAD769C7-88A3-4695-987E-0E00025F64E0.html
