Maybe if the battery is critically low on power it should show how to manually exit the vehicle on the screen for people who never read the manual.

Maybe Tesla should have the drivetrain battery recharge the 12V enough to power the doors or just enough for the passengers to get out of the car.

Maybe a digital/mechanical button combo would help.

Light press: door opens electronically.

Hard press: door opens mechanically.
