Tesla Owner Breaks Window to Escape Before Vehicle Catches Fire in Vancouver 

Just look!! 56 years ago, 2001 Odyssey predicted AI as a threat to human beings.... anyone who trusts with their eyes closed is subject to the highest risk.... Greetings from Brazil!

@@reinaldodombueno9276 But AI has nothing to do with this person not being able to lift the door handle to open it. The door handle that is the manual release. Meaning it does not need power. It's where most cars have their door handles. Nothing obscure about it.

​@@dpuravet"Manual" the door needs electricity to open. If it didnt he would have been able to get out Its not like a 2002 car where the door uses mechanical openers. Most evs don't even have door handles to begin with on the outside, doubt they do inside either.

Whats sad is i remember that line

@@excaliburofgachagames9241🤣🤥

This car (Model Y) does have a manual door release. It's right below the electronic door open button. You just pull up on the manual release handle. This person could have opened the door with that, they probably didn't know about it or they panicked.

@@ZJamaicanTrue, but it should be something that is easy to figure out in a panic situation.

Come on people, learn about your vehicle before using it. Teslas vehicles have a mechanical emergency door latch to use in case of electrical failure! Search for videos such as "Model 3 Emergency Mechanical Door Release Demo" and others before you embarrass yourself or worse.

Yeah I get the whole "watch the video about Tesla's manual door handle" and "learn your vehicle" crap but electric door handles are unacceptable and are a very alarming safety issue. Besides look at the way how you get out of the car from the rear. It doesn't have the same functionality as the front but you'll literally die in their since it's so hard to access that you need a screwdriver to get it open.

There is manual release to everything with this car for emergency use. Even firefighters have manual access to get the car hood open.

The kids probably would have known about the manual release. It's strange that he did not know that about his own car. People that don't even own Teslas tend to accidentally use the manual release on the doors. But then again, there are people that run out of gas too. Some people don't know how to open the trunk or hood. ...etc.etc.

If it would of been elderly, woman or teen driving car- the odds are- they wouldn't even be able to kick the glass out!

Now imagine having unbreakable windows like they were touting on the tesla truck. Only lib 🐑💩🤡's want to own these garbage machines because they are virtue signaling how wonderful they are, but they actually are more harmful to the environment overall than regular cars and trucks.

Use the manual door latches maybe? That's what they are there for.

@@dpuravetI mean Tesla drivers aren’t usually car people, they use them more as appliances, in a panic situation like this I would probably smash the window too not even thinking about an emergency release

The emergency release is in the same spot a person would expect a door release. Tesla owners generally have to tell people how to open their doors since the first instinct is to go for the emergency release...

​@@logitech4873 I guess you didn't hear, all the electrics went out and the door wouldn't unlock, so the handle is useless.

@@up0820 The button is what opens the door electronically. The door handle is entirely mechanical, and is made for exactly this type of scenario

There's a manual door release that doesn't require power to operate. It's really easy to find, in fact when I was the manager of a valet location I frequently had to teach new drivers to not use the manual release, as they usually found it before the normal door latch. I don't know why this guy broke his window for no reason, he could have just opened the door.

@@rickylau8220 no, the battery is on the floorpan and vents out the side of the car. not a battery fire.

Like there hasn’t been more Jeeps that have caught fire in the past decade than teslas 🤦🏻‍♂️

With all those batteries. No, not in the slyghtest.

Making those batteries is a hazard all by itself. Where are all the old batteries to disposed. Hmmm?

@@JeanEHem Old batteries are RECYCLED !!!! Ever heard of that technology in that forest you are living in ? Smart people found a way to get up to 91 % of the materials back , especially the Lithium ! The recycling company Duesenfeld in Germany achieves a recycling rate of 72% in mechanical recycling, with the processing of the black mass in Duesenfeld hydrometallurgy, the material recycling rate increases to 91%. Only the separator film and the high boiler portion of the electrolyte are not recovered at the moment.

@@JeanEHemFinally! Someone with some sense around here. Simply the making of the Tesla, is by definition, environmentally unfriendly. Not to mention the disposal of it. By the way exposure to those batteries, especially while charging has a carcinogenic effect on the body. 😮

Most people would've used the manual door latch. It's right next to the window controls

@@logitech4873 Do you not think he might have tried that if he had one though?..

@@SpartasEdge Fact is that he didn't. I own a Model 3 with the same manual door latches. They are so obvious that people usually try using those before I have to tell them to use the button above. Ask any Model 3 / Model Y owner and they'll tell you the same.

@@logitech4873 I'll take your word for it, as i don't own one.

@@SpartasEdge ..Smart

It literally doesn't. In this car, there is both an electric door latch and a manual door latch. The manual door latch in fact is the one most people gravitate towards pulling on their first time in the vehicle, since it's quite obvious and relatively conventionally placed. The car computer has no governance over it; you can open it any time you wish. The electric release is a smaller button, and placed on a small riser. It feels nicer, and has the additional function of cracking the window quickly before the door pops, which reduces wear and tear on the trim (since it's a frameless door). As a result, most owners use it and get used to it. This design is common to many vehicles in the luxury segment today, where there is an electric release doing anything from this simple window pop to actuating gull wings. In all such cases, there is still a manual release, as required by law. In this case, the owner simply forgot the manual release existed. Between panic in the moment and probably habit from using the nicer electric release, this is understandable, but it would be wrong to say the car itself decides.

@@katherinesilens2994 on Teslas: that manual latch exists on the front doors only. Backseat passengers get to become charcoal.

@@beepbop6697 I understand your concern, but backseat actually has three options. The first is leaving out the front. This is the best for kids or adults in a hurry, and actually pretty easy to slide between the driver and passenger front row seats to exit given how big the clearance is due to the internal cabin layout being more spacious than an equivalent gas car. The second way out is the backseat does have an emergency release. It's hidden in the side cupholders which isn't a great design for accessibility but does prevent kids or pets from pulling it while the vehicle is at speed, which may work since it's an emergency door release. The 2023 version got a slight redesign to make this handle more visible and accessible once the mat is removed. It's a little too slow in a hurry for adults but does work in case of power loss or malfunction, like in a collision. The third option is that the trunk has a manual popper too, and the second row seats also have manual releases in 4 locations to get them flat and open to the trunk in a hurry. If you have a dog or something like that this is probably the way you want to get them out. This is also a good way for very large passengers in a hurry, if they are a bit too big to leave out the front. Is it the best design? I do think it could be improved and in some ways is a bit awkward. However the options are there, you are not trapped inside. The car is also programmed so doors also unlock shortly after a collision if they can.

@@katherinesilens2994 model 3 manual, quoting: "CAUTION Manual door releases are designed to be used only in situations when Model 3 has no power. When Model 3 has power, use the button located at the top of the interior door handle. An informational icon, calling your attention Note Only the front doors are equipped with a manual door release."

I love how everyone is defending the Tesla by saying it was user error because the guy didn't use some secret hidden latch to open the door while conveniently ignoring the fact the car has *caught fire* - so tell me, was it user error also that makes them combust.

Oh yeah, they planned for everything at Tesla before they rolled these out. LOL

Guess what, that means he was lying and the car did not lose power, his story doesn't make any sense if you know Teslas, I suspect insurance fraud...

which means the car wasn't completely dead and it wasn't a battery short circuit

@@leouvarov8982 oh. Yeah, that’s allright then.

The lights run off the "normal" 12v auxiliary car battery is Teslas, which the doors also run off. Even if the big main battery short-circuits, the doors should still open along with the signal lights. Weird.

Except that wasn't a battery fire - the battery is under the floor. This one was probably an electrical fault and it could have occurred in any vehicle.

@@TheLongonot62 that's what I said

@@TheLongonot62 yeah and when the battery catches fire you're done. At least you can extinguish a gasoline fire

@@logitech4873 sure but in a panic situation you are using something you dont normally use. A different part of your brain is thinking for you. Needs to be automatic or your going to forget where they are. They should have 1 door handle and that is one that works with or without power.

The obvious point is that the primary door handle should be manual. When people panic, they will not remember the easiest of solutions.

That is a normal door opener... If the doors is locked will the manual opener work?

Probably not fire in the battery.

It's actually fine to use water on EV battery fires. FPRF research backs this up. It won't cause the lithium chemistry to flare up, it's not elemental lithium. Water just doesn't work on a battery fire like it would a conventional fuel fire. On a normal fire, water attacks 2 of 3 elements of the fire triangle. Heat and oxygen. In an EV fire, the water is mostly just to keep the battery cooled down and do thermal control, preventing reignition. This is why it takes so much water: only 1 corner of the triangle. Upcoming battery chemistries like LFP or solid-state batteries which are more stable and less prone to thermal runaway will be even easier to put out.

Foam still doesn't work for battery fires my guy. Lithium Ion creates its own oxygen when it burns.

It's not a battery fire...

This was likely not a battery fire. Battery fires usually start from the bottom of the car. In this case, the fire was inside the vehicle. I'm thinking it may have been a short in the low voltage system.

Why? They're far less likely to catch on fire than the average car.

@@logitech4873 Lithium batteries are extremely volatile/ unpredictable. besides, find out how lithium is mined and also there is not enough in this world for this ev project to take off.

@@dundeeecroc But they aren't volatile and unpredictable. EVs are in general extremely unlikely to catch fire compared to gasoline cars - even when comparing parked/idle cars.

@@sfperalta that's why you should read a manual BEFORE using something. Also there are short training videos explaining that you get to watch before the car delivery.

LMAO

He felt like he is a Jack Reacher in the moment.

Why are you making excuses for terrible design... Im an engineer the first time I noticed the issue was in 2015.. how the F they didn't though about it?

Looks fake video. The fire inside cabbin in the strange place

The petrol huffing cavemen are pathetic.

How? What’s pathetic is that this guy put himself in more danger than he had to be in when he didn’t use the manual emergency door release that every Tesla has. What is pathetic is how you anti-Tesla people are bashing on Tesla without knowing what you’re talking about. Yes electric cars can catch fire, hey well so can gasoline cars.

@@animalloverjulian8243 at least, gasoline cars don’t have stupid electrically operated door handles. What a stupid idea it is, it’s the epitome of overdesign.

@@АлишерМакашев-ж1ш which is why there are manual door handles for emergencies.

But this post is not pathetic at all

It all went downhill after the wheel was invented. Can’t just leave well enough alone.

@@greghernandez676 hahaha

Yup, my 98 Corolla VE base car is manual everything. LOL. Easy to open the doors/windows.

@@greghernandez676 Yup, when we were young the grass was greener and the mountains were taller.

You can

@@cookierad3r Not if you can't find the handle.

@@petercollingwood522 that’s he’s problem

@@petercollingwood522 it's like 10 centimeters below the electronic door button

Reading Owners Manual is necessary, otherwise it’s a safety and illiteracy issue!

Either way, that Tesla is still toast! lol

I have 2 cars, never read a manual. Just have more important things to do in life

In all my years i have NEVER read an owners manual for ANY car ive ever owned. All the ppl claiming this r obviously tesla owners still trying to justify their purchase cause they dont want to admit they got scammed while “trying to save the environment.” You really believe youre the “good” ppl of the world 🙄 Brainwashed society believing everything that comes out of their tv.

So, you're a bit of a Tesla nut? Well, ain't that special? I prefer sticking with my combustion engine vehicles. As the late great George Carlin once said,: If this planet gets tired of us, it'll shake us off like a bad case of fleas!

So you begrudge people that have knowledge ​@@jackpayne3996

I knew the defense would be 'you're using it wrong!' - was it user error that made it *catch fire*

What if the manual latch got malfunction

Gee a Tesla nut.....what next!!

He said it was jammed in an interview, and it was confirmed after the fire calmed down that the cable wasnt working due to a manufacturers defect

Lots of things caught fire at one point or another.

If a person is panicking, and somewhat unfamiliar with the car, things get hazy.

@@CucumberflavoredmustardIn any emergency an non trained person’s IQ drops at least 30%, ok to comment from a safe armchair.

@@ShevillMathers Might have been driving a brother's car.

There's also nothing like not being able to use your car daily without it catching on fire. Don't blame the user on this one! My gas hog doesn't catch on fire and fuck I'm from the gulf, enjoying our 45C temperatures

@@hariranormal5584 you’re not very good at math, are you 😊

@@converter42Actually no, I'm pretty retarded I am aware, but I am pretty sure I am good enough to know math is not needed for this.

@@hariranormal5584 thanks for making my point

@@converter42 Ye but you might as well be, because I don't see how maths is needed for this.

In the new 2021 Impact Report, Tesla revealed that between 2012 and 2021, there were approximately five Tesla vehicle fires for every billion miles travelled, while the national average for all vehicles in the US is 53.

@@nakkadu hey... gas don't burn... did not get the memo ?

@@nakkadu Comparing only Tesla with “all vehicles” is quite disingenuous don’t you think? There are far less Teslas than literally every car on the road.

@@Ben21756 I'm responding to a comment saying Tesla is a death trap because it catches fire....so obviously I'll compare it to "other cars"....also the number on the road is irrelevant as the stats are "per mile driven"....that's how stats work.

Likely the 12v shorted somewhere. Without an investigation it's hard to know why. But it's also pretty shocking that this guy didn't know about the manual latch. It really is placed in a way where it's very hard to not know about it. Whenever guests sit in my Tesla, they always try using the latch first to exit the car, before I tell them to us the button.

I know that batteries for RC cars should never be allowed to discharge fully, they can catch on fire then too. And, never ever leave a battery on charge when it has reached fully charged. These batteries can be very dangerous and Li-po batteries are even more so and take a dedicated charger just for li-po high discharge rate batteries. Stay informed.

@@ohwell2790 I have never heard of a full discharge fire in lithium ion batteries. They become more and more inert the lower their charge is. Also, you can't overcharge an EV.

​@@logitech4873unless it gets damaged or goes faulty. Which will inevitably happen the more of them there are on the road and the longer they age.

@@alkaholic4848 It's too rare to worry about.

They are already tired from putting out the fires on the previous ten Teslas for the day.

@@andrewmartin8565previous 60 ice engines*

​@@pixelic409ice engines don't spontaneously combust, they need an external trigger to ignite it. And it's not that easy to do unlike on the films, you can even shoot a petrol tank without it exploding. Lithium / EV batteries on the other hand can ignite themselves due to damage and malfunctions. They don't even require oxygen to burn which is why they're so difficult to put out.

@@alkaholic4848 in 2021 in US, over 200000 vehicles catched on fire, only 52 of them were EVs.

@@pixelic409 It's difficult to get reliable statistics, but there were hardly any EVs on the road in 2021, and they were all almost brand new, so it's no wonder there weren't many fires. The number has increased drastically since then, and if (it won't happen, but hypothetically) EVs ever overtook ICEs then you'd see the ratio of EV fires be much higher than ICE fires, especially if they manage to last as long as ICEs do as the batteries will be subject to all the wear and tear and abuse over the years. Also even if you're figure is correct (which i don't think it is), how many of those ICE fires were full blown dangerous fires, and how many were small ones that were easily extinguished and did very little damage?

Considering lithium burns underwater and reacts violently with water , it’s best to just let it burn out

Lithium fire is like Greek fire (magnesium) very difficult to put out

Electric fire as opposed to a gasoline fire. lol

Brainwashed

Good thing this wasn't a battery fire.

Absolutely... my neighbours charge their two EVs right under their children's bedroom...😢
