    I still dont like something that is electric powered making it so you cant get through a door. If there is a short, the battery dies (which it will someday) or generally bad parts could potentially lead to a preventable death. Cars were made so keys (or key like) can open the door no matter what. And especially in the heat everyone is going through in the US.

          Front seat? Sure. Back seat? Nah. You have to remove paneling, pull a tab up, then pull a cord forward. That is a three step, non-obvious and non-intuitive way to open a door.

            Or, climb into the front seat and open the front door.

              Or, all doors should have an obvious mechanical backup that doesn’t require that.

            If you owned one you’d know i guess. The M3 has un hidden regular door pulls on the inside both front and rear doors. Idk about the Y.

            I know it’s cool to hate Tesla, but wrong is wrong, despite the downvotes.

                Then how the fuck do you think they’re hidden doofus. Every second passenger tries to pull them.

      Ya I hear you. I don’t even like driving modern cars because they are all electrical and the pedals feel like video game controls. But nothing in the Tesla is built well. I fully believe it possible to build a full proof battery backup and not just hook up a random 12v that probably suffers from the same abysmal QA as the rest of the car.
