> Not all Model Y vehicles are equipped with a manual release for the rear doors.

Yikes. Makes me wonder if this is market-dependent. I mean, do you expect "Emergency manual door release" to be a line item in Tesla's configurator? Didn't think so.

This is US law. You can't have a child usable manual emergency release on the doors where you might have child lock enabled.
You could have the manual release just not do anything when child lock is enabled like on every other car with child locks.

Then again, there should be a manual release on the outside too...

When the car loses power, the outside manual release does enable.
