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)

Also known as the same fucking handle you use every day in every other make of car.
