It looks like it, but they’re still hidden. If you didn’t know to look under a mat while you’re car is fire I doubt it would be easy to find.

The article also says that not all model Y have releases in the rear, so even if you know ‘well my model Y has them here’ you still might be screwed.

In the case of the model Y referenced, this release is under a mat. You wouldn’t see it in normal operation.

The ones in the rear are hidden under a mat in the door.

The model X requires you to remove the speaker grill to manually open the door.

You know, nice and intuitive.

My hs reunion involved the organizer invited more of the class only when they realized they needed more people to help pay for the venue, myself included. This was done less than a week before the event.

Actually ended up reconnecting with some people that received the later invite in shared disgust so that’s a nice thing. But it also made me realize how little I wanted to interact with any of the main group.
