Really doesn't look that hard to find... and who the fuck is getting into any car without knowing how to open it in case of an emergency lol.

Pretty stupid that there's only a manual open for the front doors though, at least on the model 3.

I was riding in the front of my old boss' model 3 and immediately just used the emergency unlock rather than the button. He said he didn't even know about that.

It definitely seemed like a pretty intuitive location.

Yeah that's more of a problem that people tend to use the emergency release because it's a physical handle and seems familiar. The manual used to even warn against using it (it didn't drop the side window, risking damage.. I think that was fixed a while ago though).
