We’re deleting ‘doors’ as a feature. They just don’t make sense.

Doors are bloat, why would you need them when you got windows?
These same people drive into lakes because the GPS said so.
You’re totally right.
There is a manual door handle, which is not supposed to be used.
Most guests in my car naturally tend to go for the manual handle instead of the button, when not instructed.
So the people who claim to be locked are either looking for money or are total dumbfucks.

I’ve had a lot more people accidentally open the door with the manual override than the normal door release because it’s a lot more obvious than the normal door release. There are a ton of reasons to criticize Tesla, this is not one of them IMO. This article reads like a lot of other anti-EV “news” articles.
I get that people could be more curious about their cars, but hiding an emergency release like some kind of hidden book on Hogwarts that you have to yank on seems like a dumb idea. Car doors have established design language, and if you break that design language it has to be pretty fucking obvious how to do the action your users were trained to do.
Just when I start to think there’s alot of great information in the posts and comments on Lemmy, I read some like this.
Yep I thought the same after seeing 3 Tesla bashing posts one after the other in my feed. I don’t care for the brand but I also don’t want to hear about every single defect with them in individual posts.
I think the ‘technology’ topic is too broad and allows for this sort of shit slinging to happen too easily.
I would argue that because reddit technology was anti-Tesla, they carried that over to lemmy as well.
It’s a feature, not a bug. This way you can admire interior even more. /s
Clickbait article. The manual door releases are impossible to miss. Nearly everyone who has ridden in my car has tried to use the manual release first. I have to stop them and explain how to use the electronic release.
Teslas have problems but the door handles aren’t one of them.
That’s gotta suck.
It’s sort of amazing, these cars meet the safety regulations of the countries they are sold in. Or is it a case that no one has been this dumb before and they haven’t had to regulate for it?
Lots of cars have electronic door releases, and they all have manual handles as well. Tesla’s are not difficult to find or use.
