While (I don't even need to read it) yes it's more than likely clickbait, but having any car where the backup mechanical door releases in all seats of the car aren't blindingly obvious is an incredibly stupid design decision. For some Tesla models the rear door releases have actual manuals on how to release (https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-AAD769C...)
In a proper accident, where power is likely cut, and the occupants are disoriented (anyone who's been in a rollover will know this), the last thing you want to be is fumbling around trying to get out of the car.
I don't understand how they got approved in NZ. If you were to scratch build a car here with the same door release, you'd fail certification.
