If the power drops out, you can open the rear doors using a mechanical release found behind the speaker grille, which you need to remove from the vehicle's door, the manual adds.

I guess that's where my info was coming from.

Edit: The fact that this was such a problem that the business insider needed to publish the info speaks for itself, IMHO. Yes, it might be stated in the manual. But you want that shit to be obvious and intuitive in cases of emergency (when you'd need that feature).

The manual door release can be tricky to find unless you've combed through your car's owner's manual.

Yeah, that doesn't speak to me as "an easy way".

On the model 3 and I think on some other models it's literally right besides the window controls, it's impossible to miss it.

The Model 3 owner's manual states that "only the front doors are equipped with a manual door release."

Too bad if you have any passengers who need to get out quickly.
