Model Y Juniper: Has anyone swapped a laminated rear side windows for tempered glass?
I'm seriously considering a Model Y Premium, but I'm worried about what happens if the car loses power after a crash or fire. The exterior handles won't work without power, and since the windows are all laminated, a standard window punch won't break them from inside or out. If someone is unable to use the manual release, there may be no quick way in or out. Or for bystanders to help.
Has anyone replaced the rear side windows with tempered glass (I believe that is what is installed on the standard Model Y) so there's at least two breakable windows? I'd love to hear whether it's doable? It seems like something the Tesla repair shop can do if it’s feasible. Thanks!
