Just follow these simple instructions when the car is on fire and you are panicking

Hope it’s not a Model 3

    I know it's fun to dunk on :my-hero: because he's an absolute dipshit, but an ICE car is still about 500 times more likely to catch on fire than an EV. The lack of manual door release in the model 3 is probably going to get someone killed, though.

      It's not about the combustion, it's literally so fucking hard to escape if you crash and it disconnects power. This video said people have died just from the sun because they couldn't get out.

      Yes, but you can put a gas fire out quicker and it's usually going to start in the engine compartment (lithium fires last for days and can start anywhere the battery is compromised) and very few ICE cars have doors that lock when the drivetrain/electronics fail, so if you're in a burning car and are knocked unconscious, you've got far better chances. That and these cars are new enough that we don't really have much real-world info about how they'll behave in like 10 years.
