I feel like I'm always doing safety-related PSAs on Hexbear so excuse me being one note but I think every car should have at least one of these little seatbelt cutter/window glass breakers in them.

They are cheap and you're almost certainly never going to use one of them but if you're trapped in a car and you need to get through a seatbelt or a window, having one of these can save critical minutes and possibly even lives.

Just make sure that you put them somewhere within reach of the driver's seat - if you have to unbuckle yourself and rummage around in the backseat to get to this, it ain't gonna be worth shit in a serious emergency.

After the revolution I will make these mandatory in all cars.

This is not exclusively a tesla problem. Many modern cars have laminated windows that are hard to break. AAA research on useless escape tools raises concerns about virtually indestructible glass windows in vehicles
