I still just cannot understand not having a fucking manual door handle.even if you choose to have an electronic override which is the default way to open it. Not having a ā€œmanual openā€ failure mode is so dumb to me, ESPECIALLY for a car.

Imagine us escalators all just tilted down so they were flat whenever they lost power, so it’s just a huge, slippery ramp. It’s just a terrible idea.

3 things in a car that should never lose manual access:

• steering column

• brakes

• door handles & locks

I despise this trend in cars. šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

Preach brother!

As an engineer, not building in redundancy or ā€˜fail-safe’ mechanisms is simply poor engineering. Things need to work first, then add your bells and whistles as optional

In the future, you’ll have to ask the car company permission to travel to your desired destination like you need permission to spend your money through banks when swiping your card or permission to install the apps of your choice on your phone.

Engineers’ know this.

Elon knows this.

The Government knows this.

Why would they build it anyway?

Why would anyone buy a vehicle that they can be bricked out of?

Couldn't agree more gentlemen šŸ¤ it's a nice car though tech marvel but like what both of you said... at least some manual levers?!
