There are manual door handles right where you would expect them to be.
People are dumb.
if lots of people are having the same issue with the design, then it is the design that is dumb.
Knowing absolutely nothing about this situation, there are enough Teslas out there that dumb mistakes of every variety are going to happen. At a certain point you can't work around every kind of stupid, some of them directly conflict with each other. Now, I personally think Teslas are over-engineered in some areas, but despite not ever having been inside one even I know they have electronic doors and and manual override.
Remember when Toyotas had a problem with spontaneous acceleration? The thing is, no, they didn't. People were mixing up the brake and accelerator like they always do and somehow one incident made the news, and it became a trend.
I've already lost my enthusiasm for this discussion, but there you go. People be doing dumb things and you gotta ask what the acceptable dumb mistake rate is, because you will never completely eliminate it.
