Not saying this as a remark to you specifically, just a fun anecdote.
Someone totaled my Model 3 on my birthday a few years ago and my front door was smashed. I smelled smoke and thought I had a battery fire (turns out it was smoke from the airbags). I crawled to the back seat and tried to open my door but it wouldn't open due to power loss. I ended up breaking the window because in my state of mind, I couldn't remember that the manual door override was available. People always say there is a manual backup, but even if it works, it's really hard to remember that during a terrible accident where time is an issue. Luckily I carry a knife in my car with one of those window breaking points.

I can't imagine trying to do that drunk.
Why "luckily"?
Do you mean it would have been lucky in a different situation?
