Tesla rear doors don't open in a fire

These cars are nightmare so it would seem. They do have manual releases but only for the front, but in an emergency, I wonder how you would have time to locate the hidden handles, some are in some really odd places.

Hard to believe an absolute genius like Elon could get something like that wrong.... oh..... wait....

But look on the bright side - it's not nearly as troubling as a purportedly pinchy power window - stuff like that REALLY makes you wonder what else they might be hiding.  :rofl2:

Floormats? ???

Untended acceleration there is no brake lights. Looks like the Vehicle, suddenly took off, Telsa, is saying it's not them.

Hah, i figured that!  One of my best friends is severely Dyslexic.  He's also by far the most intelligent person I know for figuring out complex problems.  Pretty well a superior mind than most for figuring out just about anything that doesn't involve written words.  Always good to get his perspective on the way things work.  Guaranteed he'll come up with something nobody else would even consider.

Er, thanks. One of few disability that becomes visible online. It's a battle everyday. I also have anphantsia, blind in the minds eye only 2 percentage people in the world have it,, have it, most people don't realize they have it, and discoculia.

Anyway back to the Tesla thread

Do you ever use the line "I put the sexy in Dyslexia"?  If so, feel free to use it.  One of my favourite lines ever.

My wife has Aphantasia as well, only figured it out a couple of years ago.   It explains a lot of weird things, like her lack of a sense of direction,  problems with explaining technical things, but great verbal skills.

It's interesting.

Does she have a hard time remembering where she parked in large parking lots?  :rofl2:

Honestly, this is a far more interesting discussion than talking about Teslas.  I didn't even know Aphantasia was a thing.
