The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation into the emergency door release mechanisms of Tesla's Model 3 vehicles, citing concerns that they are hidden and hard to access in emergencies. The probe, which covers about 179,000 model-year 2022 vehicles, follows a complaint involving a fire where the owner escaped through the rear window. This scrutiny comes amid broader safety questions about Tesla's door designs linked to past fatal crashes.
