Tesla Touts Post-Crash Door Safety Feature for Some of Its Cars

Tesla Inc. is newly promoting features intended to make it easier for first responders to enter its cars after crashes, following months of scrutiny over the safety of its door designs.

On a new website, Tesla says that when its cars detect a serious collision, hazard lights will turn on, doors will automatically unlock and its vehicles will contact emergency services for help. In a footnote, the company says certain features may not be available in all regions or for all vehicles, depending on build date.
