Always have an emergency tool in your car to break your windows in case this shit happens to you. Even if you're in a car not designed by a god damn moron.
Tesla uses double pane laminated glass, it doesn't shatter like normal tempered glass. It can be really difficult to break and get through.
Also to break glass, don't hit the middle of the glass, strike near a bottom corner where it is less likely to flex against the impact. You may be able to take a seatbelt's end and use the corner of the metal end of the seatbelt to break it if you have nothing else. Corners for breaking
Didn't these used to be part of the seat belt? Has that standard changed?
Well, any seatbelt still has a metal point or two, which can be used to break the window. But the person inside still needs to be conscious and not-panicking enough to realize that fact.
