An interior release button inside the front
trunk allows a person locked inside to get out.
This release button is active whenever Model S is stationary.
Press the interior release button to open thefront trunk, then push up on the hood.

a brief exposure to ambient light.

release lever located below the glove box (not
available on newer models). This releases the
primary catch.
