Not sure but seems like it should.
Easy solution to the problem.
Instead of learning some conveluted bull#### method of opening the ####ing door on each and every make, model and variant of EVs, every Fire Department already possesses a Hurst Tool.
Just cut the ####ing thing open like a spam can.
No fuss, no muss, just the owners cuss.
What do you want to bet, the makers miraculously find a simple, familiar, method of opening the door after that?

Why? What if every manufacture had a different trick, would that be ok? Why is it ok for Tesla to be different?

Just sneakin' around....
There are portable power stations that can plug directly into the charge port of an EV. Since the NACS plug is becoming standardized across all EVs, shouldn't be a real big issue. Just a few minutes of charge will get the door open.
OTOH, just a few minutes may not be quick enough in extreme cases. One of those window crackers would make short work of any available window.

I'm not just talking about electric, what if every car was different, would that be ok?
You know how much crap a fire truck has to carry and maintain as is?
K-12 saw will open up any car.
Wasn't one of Teslas things that they use armored glass for their cars?
Of course that will total the car, but that could be a good thing.

Dunno. Thought that was only the CyberTruck.
Maybe it was. I seem to remember that being the demo.
The search results I got was that they were going to offer it on all their models. So I'm guessing, it's not in place on all of them just yet.

"Armor glass" is really just a slightly tougher version of the dual pane laminated glass found in I think 17 models currently for sale by virtually all makers. Window breakers will break them but not shatter them into. But once they are broken you can pull them out of the frame pretty easy.
Every toddler should carry one.
It can be part of Playskools "My First Fire Ax" play set.
Will 7,000,350,000 gallons of water be included for controlling an EV fire?

That Time an F-22 Pilot was Trapped for 5 hours in the Cockpit of His Raptor after Canopy Jammed - The Aviation Geek Club
On Apr. 10, 2006 a pilot was trapped in an F-22 cockpit for five hours after the canopy failed to open. The canopy was cut by fire department personnel.

Good thing he didn’t leave his kid stuck in the RIO spot in a child safety seat.Reminds me of this.
