No other car needs a jump for occupants to exit the vehicle
Neither does a Tesla, there are manual overrides inside the vehicle if you are “stuck” inside with a dead 12V system for any reason.
I was referring specifically to the fact that the car can be jumped like any other vehicle if necessary, and the topic at hand is one of those situations. Any vehicle with a flush handle that uses an electronic release will have this issue if the 12V system dies. Because these systems all rely on an electronic mechanism to open the door. Interior manual overrides will bypass but from the outside, there often isn’t a bypass, you would need to jump the 12V system to unlock a door.
Other than the Tesla models, there’s the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and Range Rover Velar that I found with a 2 minute search. There’s probably more models, probably even before Tesla if someone cared to look more.

No other car needs a jump for occupants to exit the vehicle, what the fuck are you talking about? Are you intentionally missing the point?
