    Yeah, expect a passenger in the back seat to know which panel to pop off to pull a red thing to open their door. They could play a flight attendant style video on the screen.

    How is that better than a mechanical door handle?

      Especially right after an accident when they’re dazed or panicky. There’s a reason emergency exits are usually clearly marked and intuitive to use.

      People want fully automated screen controlled soap cars with minimalist interiors. They see power locks and have a nerdgasm. The doors are not even the most dangerous aspect of a Tesla, it’s the screen interface designed to distract. Look it up, Teslas cause more crashes than any other brand, and that’s even with all the drunks driving Rams and Silverados.

      If I saw a car interior with a large metal spike protruding from the dash, I WOULD NOT BUY IT. But America would fetishize dash spikes , buy millions, then sue when little Jimmy is impaled, because it’s someone else’s fault, always.

      “No dash spike? Are you gay?”
