Only $10,000 more until the trash build quality sort of matches the price.
There’s a spambot posting referral links so I made it a shitpost.
It really irritates me that the best range for $ ratio in the US is still dominated by Telsa.
It helps that they lie about the range.
They even lie about emissions considering the US power composition
i’d need another 130k to be taken off the price before i consider using one
Ahh yes, the casket cars which you can’t open from the inside if they lose power.
Edit: The rear doors do not have a mechanical lever, so you have to leave through the front doors in an emergency.

I have many objections to Musk and Tesla, but I bought a used Model 3 before learning about all the insanity. The doors are designed to open with power, it’s true; this is because they were built without a top frame, apparently to reduce weight, so the powered button lowers the window as the door opens to avoid damaging the glass.
However, there is an emergency lever (that would be easy to miss for sure) that just mechanically opens the door with no need for power. I have used this once to make sure it works and can confirm it exists and functions. Presumably, this is true of the Model Y as well; I can’t imagine that a vehicle could pass any kind of inspection if there were no way to get out without power.
Same with model Y. I’m more concerned with people using that unknowingly instead of the button
The frameless window has nothing to do with the decision. Cars with mechanical door handles have been retracting the window on opening longer than Teslas been making cars.

Who the fuck is going to know how to open the rear doors like that? Also, the older models required tools to open the hatch with the wire.
