I agree. My intent is not to defend the design, only to explain that the car does not physically prevent you from opening the doors. If it did, I doubt it could legally have gone to market, though I’ve been disappointed before.
In the case of my car, it’s actually primarily for my wife. She has a cricut and printed out stickers indicating the various hidden ways to interact with the car.
Also, in my experience, almost every adult who has tried to open the door from within has asked what would happen if the battery died, so after their first time exiting they theoretically know how to exit in an emergency.
Not a good design or UX - Tesla is way too obsessed with minimalism - but not automatically a casket.
In an emergency, everyone needs to get out of the car, not just the owner who has looked up where the hidden leaves are in advance.

I would think that in most emergencies the owner can assist others in the car no?
Not if you die of lithium fumes spewing out at 5000 degrees
If he’s still alive, conscious and not stuck, yes.
