I agree with you 100%, but your example doesn’t work. There IS a mechanical way to open the door. There’s a concealed handle near the window controls.

Still won’t buy one because the quality is shit and Muskrat is a shitbag, but if you’re gonna hate, hate for the right reasons :)

No my example is perfect. And you used the right word to describe it.

CONCEALED.

Ok so maybe the owner knows about it. Not every body who rides or even drives the car is going to be the owner. There are a lot of extenuating circumstances.

You shouldn’t need to be instructed on how to open the fucking door when there is a power failure. It should be intuitive. It’s intuitive in literally #every single car on the road today except for teslas. Oh no. If you are driving in a Tesla you better be briefed ahead of time where the concealed door handle is incase of an emergency and if you don’t happen to know where it is then I guess you’re fucked.

No thanks. I’d rather just buy a car that isn’t designed by brain dead idiots trying to make a buck off a stupid gimmick.

100% fair. And I agree with you dude. It’s a STUPID fucking design.

But to say there isn’t one at all is disingenuous and detracts from the 100% on the nose argument you’re making.

actually if we're talking about the Model 3 it's not concealed it's extremely obvious. most people try to pull that instead of pressing the button to open the door.

idk if it's concealed on other models?

Either way opening a door shouldn’t be confusing. This is part of the problem.

This is part of the problem.

Sounds like a personal one.

In an emergency when you are panicking and haven't practiced opening it tho? If you even know where it is?

I would be surprised if even half of tesla owners know where the handle is

Knowing what I know now at this very moment, I would preemptively practice emergency exit from a Tesla ASAP. Practice regularly like we would practice fire drills in a house.

Nah, you can’t do that bruh. It’s only for emergencies. In fact using it can damage your door. It’s a STUPID fucking design.

Yikes, that's awful. K I'll stick with my Mercedes, am no longer remotely envious of teslas anymore.

My passengers find the emergency release all the time.
