They have one on the inside but not the outside. That's why the mom couldn't get into the vehicle or the firefighters and they had to take an axe to the window. How are you supposed to pop the hood to jump start your car if the battery is dead and you can't get in the car because the battery is dead? It's just a stupid design to not have a manual override.

I believe they also have a jump port for exactly that purpose. If that doesn't work you are stuffed though, as I believe has happened to some cyber truck owners.
