The doors of an ID.3 will unlock automatically when the airbags are deployed. It's described in the AutoLock section of the owners manual.
> Automatic Door Locking (ADL): System in the vehicle whereby the door latches automatically lock once the vehicle has reached a certain speed. They should also automatically unlock in the event of an accident, post impact.

They also have a section for electric retractable door handles (5.3), including
> It is assumed that by design the door handles will extend outwards ready for use when the SRS system deploys any airbag/detects a severe impact or the door handle remains in its retracted position but can be grabbed nevertheless by the first responder without any tool.
I wonder if Tesla's don't do this? Or if it didn't in this case?
Euro NCAP is a voluntary assessment program, so I believe all of these are just recommendations that will impact a vehicles scoring rather than mandatory safety standards.
Given the kinds of things that could make an airbag go off, I wouldn't bet on that feature working when needed.
As 3D30497420 said, this is part of Euro NCAP. They test for exactly this [1]. Why would you assume a safety system wouldn’t work?
[1] “If ADL is fitted as standard and by default always on then the doors will be locked by the lab personnel prior to ALL full-scale tests… Post-test the lab personnel will immediately check if any of the side doors inthe front crash tests and any of the non-struck side doors in the side crash tests has remained locked/has not automatically unlocked.” https://cdn.euroncap.com/media/43396/euro-ncap-rescue-extric...
