Victim blaming here isn't really very helpful. Cars should be designed with an eye towards how they perform in an emergency. There is a reasonable case that Tesla didn't do that. As an owner of a Model 3 now, it is concerning to me how I would get out of the car if the electrics fail as exiting requires a button press controlled by a computer.

Most people don't have a hammer / seat belt cutter. It is not a required piece of equipment. People aren't trained in its use. There is no expectation that a standard driver (at least in the US) should be able to use this tool. This is Tesla's issue, not the drivers.

You realize your Model 3 has a mechanical lever to open the doors if electronics fail? ( I own a Model 3 too )

Only for the front doors. With the rear doors your SOL.

Fair point, there is an obvious assumption that the driver was capable of using such a tool at the time. Anyway, I intention wasn't to blame, merely an dark observation.
