The Euro NCAP crash test scoring was just revised so that cars that don’t have manual controls for the most important functionality cannot get 5 star ratings anymore.
There is a manual override in Teslas too. It's just so well hidden that you're not going to find in an emergency.
It depends on the model. In the model S, it's right on the door, super easy to use and actually more intuitive than the little no motion micro switch that you're supposed to use. I have shit hand strength and I've pissed off model S owners by accidentally pulling it to open the door. It just needs an obvious marking. I'm astounded they don't have that already, but it's Tesla: Expect Less.
The back seat is super stupid. Who's more likely to be in the back seat? Kids. What's the release? You have to dig into the carpet below the rear cushions to find and pull a cable. It's harder to actuate than the front doors. Big brain material there.
The stupidest of all? No manual release at all on the outside. First responders get to watch you cook while trying to bash the window in. This is day one shit, Tesla.
