When I took delivery of the Equinox EV, one of the first things the dealer wanted to show me was how to access the emergency key and where under the tailgate to insert it in the event a battery failure caused the handles to not extend. Same hidden key setup as Camaro except for the location of the keyhole. Surprised Cadillac service couldn't quickly explain that over the phone.

When we took delivery of the Model Y, one of the first things the delivery specialist showed us was how to open the doors in the event of disrupted 12V power that would render the electric door engagement inoperable. I must say I would have never figured out the way to open the rear doors without that tutorial. On the flip side, that's for getting OUT. Not sure I would know how to get IN if there was a power interrupt. Other than the tried-and-true "apply brick to window of choice" method.

For the Lucid, getting out is easy. The same mechanism that triggers the electronic door release serves as the physical door release by pulling it further. But again, getting IN would (to my knowledge) require the brick-to-window method.
