"there's no prop rod for the hood"

and the power cutoff is "situated behind two steel panels" and is difficult to access

Good luck if the thing is on fire and you can't open the doors, folks. (IMHO)

Okeey dokey. Noted, don't get in an accident while riding in these. Also, hope no first responders get decapitated by the door springs.

What the heck is "appropriate PPE" for not being decapitated by a door spring, I wonder. 🤔 I suppose maybe it will only remove your kneecap or break your arm if it hits you?

Consult the Cybercab Emergency Response Guide at https://www.tesla.com/firstresponders for more de-
tails around accessing the vehicle.

NOTE: The seats and touchscreen are electrically powered and may not function after a safety critical
event.

NOTE: After a safety critical event, the doors are designed to automatically unlock. If there is insufficient
low voltage power, there is a chance the doors do not unlock as intended. Severe collisions may cause
doors to be mechanically difficult to operate. Extrication may be required.

NOTE: If low voltage power is unavailable and the windows are fully rolled up, the door windows may crack
or shatter when you open the doors with the interior manual release handles.

NOTE: The cross car beam reinforcing the dashboard is made of glass fiber, reinforced plastic, and steel.
The plastic and fiber portions are brittle and can shatter under high load. — Consult the Cybercab Emergency Response Guide at https://www.tesla.com/firstresponders for more de- tails around accessing the vehicle.

When the doors or the area around the door struts of Cybercab are damaged, the
preloaded springs for the doors can pop out when the door opens. Access the vehicle from
the undamaged door when possible. If both doors are damaged, open the doors with caution.
There is a lower chance of the springs popping out if the door does not fully open. Wear ap-
propriate PPE — When the doors or the area around the door struts of Cybercab are damaged, the preloaded springs for the doors can pop out when the door opens.
