I’ve heard that the battery cooling system on Teslas is unusually prone to failure compared to other EVs.

I can’t confirm that, but it’s sure plausible: Teslas as a whole certainly take a “cheap luxury” approach that involves a •lot• of engineering shortcuts and hand-waving about safety.

And in car system failure in a Tesla, the doors become unopenable — except using emergency release latches that hardly anybody even knows about!

This is why Teslas don’t just catch fire, but trap people inside •burn them alive• on a regular basis.

I refuse to even get in one at this point.

@inthehands funny thing is, most people I’ve seen get into a model 3 for the first time finds the emergency release *first*, since it’s more the kind of release they see in other cars than the button you normally have to press in the 3. But then they completely forget that exists.
