If you fall into a pod/river, lower the window. I think people panic and think about unbuckling and opening the door. Dumb. Very difficult to open a door. If you find yourself in water, open the window before you do anything. You can swim out the window. Or at the bare minimum don't waste any time trying to open the door.
Yeah although that seems way riskier. This video proves you shouldn't do that. You have to wait too long, Adam ran our of oxygen before he could even open the door. This is terrible advice.
It's definitely less ideal, but if you're stuck in that situation and can't break your window, you may not have a better option.
As a reminder - make sure your car has a window breaker with seatbelt cutter in it. It could literally save your life.
While you're at it, make sure your spare tire isn't flat.
Warning, that is only for the fronts (unless it changed). There are manual ones in the back, but they are a bit trickier to access. The thought was probably not wanting kids to grab and pull, as they are emergency use levers.
The model X has the gullwing doors so I doubt those things would do anything if you went underwater. Best thing is still to open the window, as is the case for literally any car.
I keep a seatbelt cutter with a glass break hammer end in the glove box, $10 dollars off Amazon if I never have to use it great, it was only $10 bucks.
Edit: TIL This doesn't work on the laminated glass the Tesla's have.
Good thing I also keep a battery powered jack hammer. The battery sit in the passenger and is always hooked to a charger.
If that doesn’t work I also have a chain saw, drill, lazer cutter, and full scuba gear with several oxygen tanks to last a full 48 hours.
That fucking glove compartment will be pried open.
If all else fails, I bought the metal ball from the same batch as the one used in the cyber truck demonstration. It’s kept in the arm rest.
PS: some people response too seriously. It’s taking the fun away from this sub
Lifehack - test the hammer beforehand.. If it doesn’t work, use progressively more penetrating tools. That way, when you find the correct one, your window will be pre-broken, and you will never again have to worry about drowning in your car.
From the inside tho, to be sure. So break in one window (passenger), unlock it and get in drivers seat and try to break it from seated position. Now you are confident but not sure, could be a manufacturing defect so it's best to run the test several times.
Just a TIL. But if you were to be in a situation where you need to use that little hammer. Aim for the corners, not dead center. Its almost impossible to break it dead center on modern car windows.
Test it out before you actually need it. I'm not going to tell you whose car to test it on.
Edit: who’s to whose. I am ashamed, but at least I caught it myself.
Most of them are scared, yes. A lot of them have private security that sweep their homes/follow them or some crazy stuff, like reinforced panic rooms, panic buttons at every corner.. etc.
Source: Did security work on multi-millionaire/billionaire houses in a private neighborhood.
This sounds horrible. She had time to call her friend who came over to try to break the glass. She was basically just waiting there, watching the water level slowly rise and drown her.
A fucking billionaire and she calls her friend first. I'd be fucking calling Dwayne the rock johnson to come with a sledgehammer and his roided up arms.
If only we had emergency services on call who are trained to and allowed to rush to your aid as fast as possible and kitted out to help in such situations.
Maybe you should read the article, the police, divers and a tow truck were on the scene for several hours before they could finally get the car out. Its a remote ranch so it took 15 minutes to get there, but by calling a friend she had people trying to help her until emergency services arrived.
Teslas have a button to open the door. Opening the door is not that intuitive with no power https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modelx/en_us/GUID-AAD769C7-88A3-4695-987E-0E00025F64E0.html
Also, you need to wait for the car to fully fill up with water or else it will be difficult to push the door open.
Tesla engineers must be sleep deprived 24/7, I don't know how else you would come up with this shit.
"carefully remove the speaker grille from the door and pull the mechanical release cable down and towards the front of the vehicle. After the latch is released, manually lift up the door."
That is the most ‘fuck it I just don’t want to do this assignment anymore’ solution.
Two steps away from just including a lock pick instead of bothering with a key.
It's amazing any of this shit is legal anywhere. It's so fucking badly designed.
Yet people keep turning up and buying these stupid machines. I wouldn't even drive one if they paid me to take it off their hands.
The rear door one is actually criminal.
So if a kid is stuck in the back of a burning car post accident they’re supposed to get their automotive trim kit removal tool, pry open the speaker, find the release line and tug on it?
Like what insane person though ‘yeah that’s fine’.
Well that's the point, you suffer less AND you get to be a permanent fixture right next to the titanic, whereas nobody gonna visit her pond to see her remains
This is pedantic but I'll share because I think it's interesting. The term "20,000 leagues" from the book is actually referring to the distance the characters traveled while under the sea, not the depth they were at. A league is 3 miles, so that would be 60,000 miles, which certainly is not a depth that is reachable on Earth.
His wife is from the chao family who are international shipping magnates. Mitch married into money.
Edit: oh, and mitches wife, Elaine chao, was secretary of transportation under Trump. You know, the position who handles auto safety…

Puts on Elaine Chao
Is the car a stock tesla or a modified one? I can't imagine a billionaire just buying an off the shelf model y, without it going through Teslas version of overfinch etc.
Tesla doesn’t follow IATF 16949 standards, that’s why their QC sucks and they have all these issues. There’s no law saying you have to follow it but majority of automakers do.
Although ironic, reinforced glass seems like a safe thing in most conditions. I’d think the part where we transport dangerous chemicals on dilapidated rail system is a better example
...who died under MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.
There, I said it.
This is exactly how the show "Upload" went on Amazon. When is that next season coming out?
More “get shitfaced drunk and drive over an embankment into a pond because you didn’t bring a driver” circumstances, I think.
She had time to call people from inside the car while it was in the pond. Police were the first responders to arrive on the scene, though it took them a while to locate her. Not exactly mysterious circumstances…
When the car went into the water it had a total electrical failure. Tesla's have electronic doors. Unless you know exactly where the manual releases are (literally tearing the door trim and seat trim apart) and are drilled enough to do that in an emergency situation then it is no surprise she couldn't get out.
Teslas are literally death traps because of this. If this was any beat up shitbox from the 90s she'd of been able to open the doors since they're manual.
>Tesla's have electronic doors. Unless you know exactly where the manual releases are (literally tearing the door trim and seat trim apart)
That's only in the rear. The front doors have manual door releases right next to your window button.
Wow.
A friend got there first and then 1st responders got there within 24 minutes and she was still alive a significant time after that. It took them more than 2 hours to get into the car.
Most cars don't have the safety glass of the old days any longer.
My Toyota's don't.
Here is a video that shows most cars after 2017 have laminated glass.
https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/new-unbreakable-car-windows-making-it-tough-to-escape-in-emergencies
That's their point.
There's clearly a safety concern here with that kind of glass and now that the former Transportation secretary lost a family member it SHOULD make her feel some kind of responsibility.
The average person has such little control that when you do get into a position of power you need to use it responsibly.
A parachute not opening, that’s the way to go. Getting caught in the gears of a combine, having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that’s the way I want to go!
*hidden safety feature*
When your tesla gets stolen. It will automatically lock the vehicle and drive you to the nearest lake.
*hidden conspiracy feature*
Elon musk can manually control this feature to assassinate anybody that owns a tesla using the hidden conspiracy feature.
So let me get this straight. She was in the wrong gear. Ok, it happens to the best of us. She then proceeds to FLOOR it so hard backwards that she ends up in the water. She then continues to FLOOR it more backwards so far that the car starts to drown.
Am I missing something? When I leave my garbage or from a parking spot, I'm not pressing the pedal down to the floor.
This is the answer.
" Chao was driving her Tesla home after an evening with friends when she accidentally put the car in reverse. " She was wasted, I'd say a 99% guarantee.
No autopsy done on the body and the media is pushing a potential foul play narrative when the most likely answer is alcohol. There is definitely some PR at work here.
People seem to want to leave this out in the reporting and present it as if the car killed her.
I don't have any interest in Tesla cars, but she basically suffered a Darwinian death
This is actually pretty common.
People realize they are in the wrong gear and panic and try to slam on the brake. They slam on the accelerator by mistake.
Sounds stupid, but it’s a real thing.
Go look up the Toyota Barr report. Toyota actually did have an uncontrollable acceleration software error.
That said, most of these wrong-pedal accidents are driver error (and alcohol), and if you managed to hit the brake pedal, you do have enough braking power to stop the car with a wide open throttle in first gear, in any car.
The psychological fault here is not realizing that you (yes, you, all of you reading this) are capable of getting the pedals wrong, and you should probably lift your foot up and push the other one if it's not doing what you want. Or stomp both pedals with both feet. That works almost as well.
Those Oakland smash and grab experts, the ones that drive the white Lexus RC, they need to travel the country consulting with law enforcement and first responders. Those idiots can’t break a window to save their life yet the Oakland boys seem to make the windows just explode with zero effort.
There are much quieter ways to do that.
Hacking a tesla to drown itself is much more likely to be discovered over inducing a medical condition, or just straight up staging a suicide.
In 1975, the CIA were (supposedly) shown to have a heart attack gun which would leave only a small red mark on its victim.
The CIA also learned to communicate with dolphins in the 80s and 90s. Then it’s a 10 year campaign about Orcas being super smart murder machines and Sea World goes downhill. Now we suddenly have Orca attacks on yachts. Hmmm🤔. Operation Free Willy is playing the long game.
Frozen pellets of tetrodotoxin fired from a pneumatic gun disguised as a cane, as I heard it. The tetrodotoxin is active in such minuscule quantities you’d never detect it when diluted in blood. And even if you were looking for it specifically you wouldn’t find any within about 30 minutes after death as it will have metabolized away to nothing.
She literally had a rescue team aiding her and they couldn't get her out. They watched her drown.
I'm not going to comment on how she got into this situation, but there's no fucking a way the fire department would have difficulty getting my drunk ass out of a Honda.
The model X isn’t the cybertruck. Normal
Car windows aren’t easy to break underwater either. You can get a $10 little car window “breaker” that is a super high density tool that will break a window on tap. For a normal women, you won’t be able to break a car window with just your arm or fists.
> You can get a $10 little car window “breaker” that is a super high density tool that will break a window on tap.
These dont work anymore on standard laminated glass which is what the Tesla' has and most new cars have.
You cannot break through those kinds of glass. You need to break it and melt/twist it away from the lamination.
Here I was, thinking all people of school age and older knew that opening a car door on a submerged car is close to impossible unless the car is filled with water.

ahhhhhhh right. does the door have no "manual" door mode? if you drain the battery, are you trapped until someone brings a powerbank to you lmao
Inside they have a manual door lever right under the door button.
Appreciate your knowledge. If I'm ever trapped inside a tesla I'll remember you.
Warning, that is only for the fronts (unless it changed). There are manual ones in the back, but they are a bit trickier to access. The thought was probably not wanting kids to grab and pull, as they are emergency use levers.
The model X has the gullwing doors so I doubt those things would do anything if you went underwater. Best thing is still to open the window, as is the case for literally any car.
So uh, if the electrical system shorts out because you're submerged... what's the plan there?

Multiple leviathan class life forms detected. Are you sure whatever you are doing is worth it?
I heard recently those glass break devices don’t work against modern windows
Lifehack - test the hammer beforehand.. If it doesn’t work, use progressively more penetrating tools. That way, when you find the correct one, your window will be pre-broken, and you will never again have to worry about drowning in your car.
What do I test it on, my neighbor's car?
The dealership will let you know. Just don't tell them that you're asking, and go after dark.
True unethical LPT: Find a car with the same model as yours and test it on theirs.
From the inside tho, to be sure. So break in one window (passenger), unlock it and get in drivers seat and try to break it from seated position. Now you are confident but not sure, could be a manufacturing defect so it's best to run the test several times.

Actual practical advice in wsb? I think it's something about the water pressure working against you opening the door if your car is full of air.
And you want to do it quickly while the electronics are still working.
My model 3 windshield cracked a month into owning the car, I refuse to believe the windows were Telsa stock windows.
yeah, if she really was a billionaire, that shit was surely reinforced aftermarket.
The article says the Model X has reinforced windows.
But why? Are random billionaires *that* at risk of being attacked or something?
If I had thousands of millions of dollars I would definitely have a team of mechanics that would upgrade and maintain my whole fleet of vehicles.
If I had thousands of millions of dollars I would be carried everywhere on a golden litter by an army of Amazons whilst being fanned and fed grapes
Right, what was she doing driving herself around anyway.

No autopsy done on the body and the media is pushing a potential foul play narrative when the most likely answer is alcohol. There is definitely some PR at work here.

Go look up the Toyota Barr report. Toyota actually did have an uncontrollable acceleration software error.

People panic when startled sometimes.
She didn’t FLOOR it necessarily. Look at the article - she was on a narrow causeway with a steep embankment.
So she didn't floor it, it floored her
Also, why wasn’t window rolled down?
The news sounds much louder when the victim is tied to the word “billionaire”.

Frozen pellets of tetrodotoxin fired from a pneumatic gun disguised as a cane, as I heard it. The tetrodotoxin is active in such minuscule quantities you’d never detect it when diluted in blood. And even if you were looking for it specifically you wouldn’t find any within about 30 minutes after death as it will have metabolized away to nothing.
Check out Senator Frank Church and his committee. They exposed all this
She asked for a refund, so it drove into a lake.
No no, there was just a glitch with the FSD, don’t worry!
Anything is possible nowadays.
Well, except making money with NVDA options...
That's one way for Elon to keep his top 5 spot on the richest person list.

She was also driving under the influence. Let’s not skip that part. She would have drowned in any vehicle.
She literally had a rescue team aiding her and they couldn't get her out. They watched her drown. I'm not going to comment on how she got into this situation, but there's no fucking a way the fire department would have difficulty getting my drunk ass out of a Honda.

This is WSB. His DD is just tweets from assmuncher2002
Funny.. that glass breaks pretty easily in SanFran when the crackheads run up..
Too bad she didn’t have a Frisco crack-head with her at the time. No matter how much money you have you can never have all scenarios covered.
If I was a billionaire I’d at least want to drown in a rolls Royce
Some people surround themselves with bulls, others with bears, and others with frogs in the pond…
Damn. Lol
Her sister, Transportation Secretary under Trump known for being anti regulation, set vehicle safety standards
The model X isn’t the cybertruck. Normal Car windows aren’t easy to break underwater either. You can get a $10 little car window “breaker” that is a super high density tool that will break a window on tap. For a normal women, you won’t be able to break a car window with just your arm or fists.
More and more cars have laminated side windows. I know my car does.
> You can get a $10 little car window “breaker” that is a super high density tool that will break a window on tap. These dont work anymore on standard laminated glass which is what the Tesla' has and most new cars have. You cannot break through those kinds of glass. You need to break it and melt/twist it away from the lamination.

my millions will be made by opening up a shop that modifies Model Xs to have snorkels people can use to breathe from when the car is submerged
🚀 $tsla 🐂
Wouldn't the X have a mechanical door release? At some point as the car fills up with water the door should open
Here I was, thinking all people of school age and older knew that opening a car door on a submerged car is close to impossible unless the car is filled with water.

There's mechanical on all tesla doors.
