President Musk will make lawsuits illegal, un-American and treasonous.

Yeesh. Yet another reason (a) never to buy a Telsa and (b) always to carry at least one window-breaker tool in your car. I got one for the pocket on each of the driver and passenger doors after watching a Mythbusters episode about escaping a sinking car. Mine also have a razor slot for cutting seatbelts that won’t release.
Yeah, I keep a hammer/slicer tool thing in my car where I can reach it while wearing a seatbelt, just in case.
Apparently the Model Y and some Model 3 vehicles have laminated side window glass. So…good luck with the glass breaker.

Aha! Yet ANOTHER reason not to buy a Tesla!
I always thought those were kind of a silly paranoid thing to purchase. Then I was in a car that rolled over a few times and stopped on its roof. Seatbelt was locked up and I wasn’t at my best to try to figure out how to get down. A passerby used one of those to break out the window and cut me down. Now I’m a believer.
I used a baton to break the window and a pocket knife cut the seatbelt on a driver on a car whose engine compartment caught on fire. Apparently they stopped because smoke was coming through the firewall and out of the front grill, couldn’t unbuckle the seatbelt, and got confused or partially incapacitated by smoke inhalation. I was able to get them out of the car (still semiconscious and ambulatory, thankfully) and away from the vehicle before it started burning in earnest.
Since then, I keep a breaker/cutter in reach from the driver’s seat, then folding medical shears with glassbreaker and rescue hook on my trauma chest rig hung on the back of the headrest (plus flashlight with UV, cut resistant gloves, respirator mask, and all the major trauma items), and a hammer style breaker with cutter, a small Halligan bar, and a fire blanket on the back panel of the seat. I’ve never had to use any of it (and have only broken into the EMT pack between the jump seats for the boo-boo kit) but I’d rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it at hand.

"Shoot, a fella’ could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.”
So, is it least a theoretical possibility that Matthew Livelsberger’s Cybertruck had a power door lock failure, and that he did what any reasonable person (say: one who desperately had to pee) would have done in order to swiftly exit the vehicle?
Certainly in New Vegas.

Those two posts go very well together. It is not my idea of a pretty good weekend, but hey! that is how the quote goes.
This whole Jimmy Jimmel clip is well worth watching, but if you want a good chuckle, fast-forward to the 7:00 minute mark! 
I feel stupid asking, but is that real/legit? Did that really happen?
Edit: That’s gotta be AI
They could always beautify their trucks by running decorative duct tape over every seam.
I used to have one of these and I somehow lost track of it over the years (I don’t think I removed it when I sold my last car).
After reading thus thread I went online and bought a replacement - actually I went ahead and got a two pack. It cost $5.99.
I do believe that a combined window-breaking and seat-belt-cutting tool, or two separate tools, are well worth having. Very unlikely to ever be needed, but small, cheap, and could save your life. I don’t have one but will probably buy several and give to loved ones. There’s a grey area somewhere between irrational paranoia and “why would I ever need this?” being famous last words as you sink to the bottom of a river.
The panel falling off was added with CGI.
You can tell because the Secret Service and Trump didn’t panic that he was under attack yet again.
In these horrific days, I sometimes try to amuse myself by imagining how this era will be portrayed in history books, cinema, memorabilia, etc. .. Makes me giggle to picture this Cyberdreck as the next “Edsel”.
Haha, yes. I seriously hope so.
Although, being somewhat weird, I would not mind owning an Edsel, if there are any extant and available in my little corner of the world.
