Oh that's easy, just make it a one time release switch. You gotta replace the door battery after using it.

Door opener fluid. It's a canister of fluid that you have to pump into the door to open it in an emergency. Then you get a replacement canister from the dealer for $150. I recently found out that that's what passes for a "spare tire" anymore.

They do they both for cost and for weight savings to try and hit CAFE standard while only selling oversized CUVs.

Make small cars.

We want them, they’re fun and better for everyone.
