Some important corrections:

  • The doors did not open from the outside, presumably because they were locked
  • The hero who tried to rescue the people inside was hitting the window with a tree branch, but the windows didn't crack until after over a dozen swings
  • The article says nothing about opening the doors from the inside; if you are ever in that situation, cybertrucks have a manual release under the rubber mat of the "map pocket" in the doors (source)

under the rubber mat of the "map pocket" in the doors

That sounds like a real shit place to try finding in a smoke and fire filled car. That thing needs a recall and crushed into cybercubes.
