The only survivor of the October 24 fire was a woman in her 20s who was able to get to safety after a quick thinking passer-by smashed a window of the burning Model Y car to free her

      No that’s absolutely something valid to bring up the exterior door handles are dumb.

      If you actually want to know where they are, there’s one above the window controls on the front side doors, where your hand naturally rests. You just pull it up like a regular door handle.

      Backseats pull a tab in the storage area of their doors. It’s behind a little patch of fabric.

          Passenger side has it as well.

          Edit: oh it sounds like you’re wondering what someone outside the car does. They probably do the same thing they’d do for any car with hidden/shaved door handles (not exclusive to Tesla). Bust it open. It’s easy enough that vagrants do it all the time to steal junk.
