It often feels like EV fires make major headlines while ICE vehicle fires go under reported despite being order of magnitude more likely and common. Nice to see an ICE vehicle fire actually making media headlines for a change.

    many other brands have copied Tesla in the design of fully electronic door handles.

    Care to share some examples?

      AFAIK KIA and Xpeng, but you’ll just have to look it up, I don’t remember the brands.
      I Just know that although Tesla is the worst for hiding the manual, they are not entirely alone in this.
      In fact the car I bought is a VW ID.4, and one of the reasons is that the handle although electric can work as manual if the power is out.
      This was specifically demonstrated in several car reviews of the car.
