The model Y's inability to roll down its rear windows is another safety liability. I had to vomit out of an Uber and had much difficulty getting my head out the tiny opening.

Perhaps you mean “roll it down all the way”, but it most definitely can roll down most of the way.

As someone with a large head myself, I can most definitely fit it out comfortably of mine.

I don't have a large head. There is zero chance of crawling out the window if you're trapped in these cars.

[dagmx]

That’s a different point entirely. You talked about being unable to fit your head out comfortably. I addressed that.

At least their head can escape even if the rest of them can't.

Knowing the incompetent engineering in the Cypertruck closure mechanisms, I was definitely worried about getting guillotined by the firmware.

If the door won’t open electrically, then very likely the power windows won’t work either.

So to be able to crawl out the window, you’d have to break the glass, which would make the full size of the opening available.

That’s not really specific to Tesla. Lots of cars have rear windows that only hinge open slightly

[Reason077]

This is an issue with many modern cars, not just Tesla. The rear windows physically can’t roll all the way down due to the shape of the doors.

One way to solve it might be to design a window mechanism where the glass rotates in the frame rather than just sliding on a single axis. But as always, there’s a cost and complexity trade off.

Real life problems. Thanks for sharing :-)
