It looks like it, but they're still hidden. If you didn't know to look under a mat while you're car is fire I doubt it would be easy to find.

The article also says that not all model Y have releases in the rear, so even if you know 'well my model Y has them here' you still might be screwed.

In the case of the model Y referenced, this release is under a mat. You wouldn't see it in normal operation.

The ones in the rear are hidden under a mat in the door.

The model X requires you to remove the speaker grill to manually open the door.

You know, nice and intuitive.
