Tesla vehicles are electric vehicles that do not use gas or gasoline or diesel oil for their operation; they are vehicles whose power source is a rechargeable 12-volt battery of long duration. They usually have two engines, one in the back and one in the front.

These cars have a door opening only under the remote control; some models have power liftgate. The doors can open from the inside by cranking as long as they are not locked.

The vehicle can be opened only from the inside if power failure happens through a unique device that allows the opening in these cases.

Tesla Vehicle History

Let’s talk initially about the Tesla company; thus, this company is known to be an American company that works or designs electric vehicles entirely; it operates with very high and very demanding standards.

Tesla direct by Elon Musk, co-founder of other companies such as Space X or Paypal. The company names after a Serbian physicist and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla. The headquarters of this company locates in Valley, California, USA.

Tesla has fundamentally dedicated to the automotive business. It started in 2003 due to the merger of two working groups of the company AC Propulsion. With the firm idea of developing electric vehicles together, in one of these groups was Elon Musk.

Musk, along with JB Straubel and Martin Eberhard, founded Tesla Motors, and thus began to manufacture a 100% electric sports car. It wasn’t until 2008, when finally, after many setbacks and near bankruptcy, the Roadster production began.

More than 2200 units of this model sold, and in 2019 Tesla began its journey on the stock market, under the acronym of TSLA. Beyond manufacturing its cars, this company also emerges as a kind of administrator of smart car parts, for various brands of vehicles.

Tesla now has several partners, including Toyota. This company has made available to its customers several electric vehicle models. Model S or Model X is the conventional models and a more compact and more comfortable to acquire, the Model 3.

Model 3 marked a new milestone in the history of the brand. It has a range of 350 km, which led to many reservations from interested buyers. Tesla also has its network of superchargers, with more than 400 stations in Europe.

Let’s look at the model’s Tesla has developed:

• Tesla Roadster (sold over 2000 cars)
• Model S (over 100,000 units sold) This car innovated by placing the Tesla Model S door handle.
• Tesla Model X
• Tesla Model 3

The logo used by Tesla is straightforward; it seems to be a simple T. Still, actually, this logo is a little more than a simple T since it tries to refer to the cross-section of an electric motor, placing the rotors and the stator in a central position.

Can the Tesla door be opened without power?

The answer to this question is whether the Tesla door can be opened without power, but only from inside the vehicle. Tesla vehicles have a device that allows the unlocking and opening of the doors from the inside; that device’s location varies according to the model.

It should be born in mind that the technology deployed in Tesla cars is of the first order. These cars have sensors in several places, and the doors have these devices. The use of sensors on the doors is indispensable since they open automatically, and with the sensors, they avoid knocking on other cars when opening doors.

The Tesla Model S brings a lot of smart car parts; such is the case of the tesla model s door handle, this is a handle that is flush with the body of the car when it is closed and approaching the remote control. The handle begins to stick out automatically, allowing open the vehicle.

Once the car begins to run, the handles hide again, being again at the bodywork level. This model has a particular device that allows you to open the doors without power, under the rear seat, relatively to its center, pull it, and open the doors.

Everything related to the opening of the doors is programmable, and the user can do it himself. One of the programmable options is that the car door opens when you feel the remote control; there are those who do not like that mode because it could generate unintentional accidents.

As it has said, it is only possible to open the Tesla door without electric power, only from inside the vehicle, but this is a disadvantage and even a danger if analyzed well, because if you were to suffer an accident and in such an accident the battery is damaged. The crewmember or crew members are unconscious; you cannot open the car.

Because of the above, it would be necessary to drill the windows to help the crew members or wait for the firemen to take action and cut the car to rescue the injured and unconscious crew members.

Once the Tesla vehicle is in motion, it has sensors that automatically block the opening handles, making it impossible to open the doors without first pressing a specific unlocking device.

For that reason, at the time of an accident where the car is out of power, it is impossible to open the doors externally and can only be done internally, as I described above.
