Yeah, I just talked with a Rivian engineer (who owns a Tesla) and he said that all these vehicles have mechanical pulls, but the problem is that they are hidden and people don't know where they are. It's kind of odd the article didn't mention this fact and enlighten the readers as to how to avoid the same fate!

Here's how to do it in a Model 3. [1] Apparently it differs by vehicle.

On the X/Y/3 front doors the pull handles are kind of where you expect it on a normal car, at least the ones I've seen.
