please, PLEASE! don't forget to put the manual door release levers inside the cab!! and safefy train passengers where it is. someone died in a vette fire in the road in front of my in-laws when a drunk crashed, battery disconnected, fire started, and the driver had no clue how or where the manual release was. my wife drives a C7 daily and that always kinda worries me when i think about it.

(sorry for the downer topic ... just couldn't keep it to myself ...)

That was the first thing I thought. Corvettes have a manual lever next to the seat on the electric latches. These have one on each side of the seat and the drivers side has an manual exterior release on a key. Not knowing where the manual release lever is located would be of huge concern. Pic for reference of a pass side latch off a c6 or c7 corvette. The c8 2020 latch has three bolts mounting and two manual releases on the driver side (and one on the pass side like in the pic).
