    I hate to be the voice of reason here, but if you get inside a powerful device to pilot it you should at minimum read the directions first.

      But you could read the article first…

      Exton followed the instructions for the manual release to open the door, but he said this “somehow broke the driver’s window.”

        That’s the tax. “You want to get out of your crippled car and not have a heat stroke? Go buy a new proprietary window from GlassX.”

      Have you read your entire car manual? Mine’s like 200 pages, no way I’d remember everything even if I did read all of it. It’s best used as a refefence when you need to do something.

        If there was a weird procedure to open the doors I’d read that part… and anything else that isn’t standard or obvious too.

            Lemmy sure does love name calling! It’s such a mature and productive way to carry on a conversation!

            I mean literally I paid 60k-ish all together for my two cars , why is it so hard to believe? I didn’t read it cover to cover, like all the detailed specifications, and the index and all that kind of stuff, I didn’t memorize the maintenance schedules for Canada and Mexico, but all the explanations of all the features? Of course I read all of that. It takes just 2-3 hours to go through it all, even sitting in the car and trying everything out as I go. It’s a super small time investment into something I’m going to own for several years. I spend way more time on a weekly basis on leisure activities like playing games.
