    So obviously, fuck Teslas.

    But it says she didn’t used the manual release because she thought it might somehow hurt her car?

    And she didn’t update it for 6 years and choose waiting for a Chick-fil-A order was the right time, even tho she expected it to take 24 minutes?

    Like, what kind of Chick-fil-A takes 24 minutes to make an order, she knew it would be ready before it’s done.

    This is one of those situations where there’s no victim, she’s an idiot but Tesla’s suck

      According to the article she did update the car before. She just used to have it done at night, and this is the first time she was in the car during an update.

      40 minutes is a hell of a long time for a software update though.

      She’s 100% an idiot. When a Tesla needs updating it gives you the option between scheduling it later (by default 2am) or doing it now. When you select do it now it specifically warns you some features may NOT be available and list both the HVAC and doors.

          At first glance yes but if they are updating the portion of the code involving the door it makes perfect sense why you shouldn’t use the door. Also keep in mind the manual release is always available even during an update.

            portion of the code involving the door

            It is a door

            A door

            Why did they design a door that needs a computer to unlatch without damaging the weather proofing. Every other car I’ve been in has been able to open the door without needing a computer to adjust the windows.

                I could imagine how you could make an entirely electro-mechanical setup to handle the Tesla doors, and probably make them more reliable in turn.

                But yeah, everything being controlled by a computer is becoming more and more common.

                For the Ioniq 5 and EV6, the computerised portion is not required though. On the lower trim levels the door handles are simply spring loaded, and you have to push the front of the handle, to lever it out to grab. On the higher trim levels there’s a motor to push the handle out, but it’s still just spring loaded, so nothing is stopping you from levering it out just like on the lower trim levels. Pulling the handle is exactly the same as pulling the handle in any other car, it just mechanically opens the door. And there’s a fully mechanical lock as well. The door handle on the inside is also entirely mechanical.

                Here you can see how the handle and lock works if the car is entirely dead (at 1:38) https://youtu.be/Lv6wwn8m-8U&t=98

                I like how Hyundai have managed to add all the nifty features and conveniences with electronics and computers, without compromising the mechanical reliability.

            No, that is stupid.

            The button connected to the door should be a completely separate circuit which will not shut down ever. Sure, if you additionally want communication between the main computer and the doors, you can add it. But the doors should not depend on that computer. Basic redundancy and separation of concerns.

      That TikTok, as 99% of others, is concentrated bullshit.

        And that’s the entire story. All of it.
