Someone on Mastodon pointed out that not all Model Ys even have the manual release. I didn't believe this could be true - how could regulators allow this?

But it's actually listed on the Model Y page (https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-AAD769C...): "Note Not all Model Y vehicles are equipped with a manual release for the rear doors."

Not sure what the distribution is or whether it's just an "old version" problem?

Some countries may not require it, though it does seem pretty suspicious to omit that, regardless of what regulatory quirks there are in the world.
