No, easily identifiable mechanical door latches appear front and back in most Tesla models, only front in some large low volume ones.
You believed something about Tesla doorhandles, you learned nothing.

I was in one the day that I posted this, there were no mechanical latches to open the door.
What model?
Mechanical latches like shown here should appear in most in the front, and I remember them first hand from a Model 3 and Model Y.
Hmmm, what about the back? I was in the back and couldn't find anything.

In the door side pockets in current models like Model Y somewhat accessible, more hidden in some older low volume models, allegedly under speaker grills in early Model X backdoors.
Many difficulties occurred in the falcon wing door development reportedly, possibly affecting the complicated mechanical release placement early on.
