      It’s not hidden though. Everyone who has sat in my model 3 for the first time has always accidentally used the manual release when getting out. It’s weird people would buy a vehicle and not educate themselves on it. I’ve never bought a car without spending lots of time researching.

        Model X: If the power drops out, you can open the rear doors using a mechanical release found behind the speaker grille, which you need to remove from the vehicle’s door, the manual adds.

        Fair that you absolutely should research, but having to disassemble my door to get to the manual release isn’t something I’d think to look up. It’d just be luck if I happened to come across that in research.
