Most manufacturers use the door handle to override the electronic system. Like pulling twice or harder than usual.

That’s fine then. We’re relearning why all cars with manual transmissions have the same foot pedal and shift pattern arrangement. It’s so in a panic situation, people aren’t having to orientate themselves mentally and can just go off of muscle memory to save themselves. I should be shocked that Tesla didn’t hire any auto industry veterans that know that, but I’m not. This reeks of software dev shit where every new MBA coming in just has to shake things up and reinvent everything so they can leave their mark.

I read an article that Teslas are designed to have thier electrics in a daisy chain to avoid big ugly bundles of wires. But that just means a failure propagates down the chain so non critical systems can take out critical ones. Clearly he doesn’t listen to or hire car engineers.

Anyone who has ever been in a Tesla knows they’re a software company, not a car company. The cars are made like crap.

I still wouldn’t go back to ICE though.

Nothing about having an EV drive train requires electric doors. Others have already said that other EVs have manual doors or manual override for panic situations.

And it reeks because they “leave their mark” just like an unneutered cat.
