This car has a very sturdy shell, but what can you do to crack the nut from the outside in the event of an accident or fire? I think there will be some kind of automatic opening by shock sensor. Will there also be something like an emergency button to open?

IMHO
The Jaws of Life could pop any of the two side doors and the hatch but it could be an good upfront discussion and maybe when they do crash testing have and video tape a Emergency team using their emergency equipment to pop one of these points, if not damaged in the test. That could shared
I personally carry a glass break and seat bely cut tool in all my cars too!
Yes Len, for professional people with their tools it will be no problem, but for the road user next to you it is not easy to pull out the broken front glasses and lift you out. 🔥I am afraid of fire!🔥
@Max Conrad is it easy to that with any other vehicle on the road?
@Kerbe #12705 At my car I pull the outside handle to open.
If the person inside is not able to open I will break the glass and pull the inside handle.
Are the side windows made of glass or polycarbonate?
Are there handles to open?
As Kerbe #12705 implied, with any other car the doors can become impossible to open by hand after a collision, with no "automatic opening by shock sensor or emergency button to open".
Apparently gas cars are much more likely to catch fire than an EV.

It would be a nice idea for my polyester- car, but I think you can not extinguish a fire of burning batteries with this.
But the fire is not the problem. I only wanted to know how to get out (or in) in an emergency.
Kiteboarder mention fire...so just mentioned in case there was an issue.. And just sharing my possible choices in case of that type of a significant accident.
I hope you never have to worry about a crash. Be safe.
LOL: Kiteboarder only mentioned fire because Max Conrad mentioned fire!
But he's right: Fire isn't much of a problem (with an EV). I wonder if you can extinguish a fire of burning gasoline with that.
They have a website and list fire types it will work on.
I rather toss this into a fire rather than stand next to fire/ possible explosion
