Why cant’t the doors be manual on an EV?
Not cool enough for someone whose brain stopped developing at 15
Of course they can, but then you don't get those slick flush handles. Ain't that a thing worth dying for?
best part is that the handles on the 3 and Y are manually actuated but have an electronic lock. so you push the wide part in to pop the handle out, and when you pull it it opens electronically. so stupid.
Worst of both worlds 👐
Than you wouldnt look smart when a person sitting in your ev doesnt know how to open the door, and you smugly grin and show how stupid they look for not spending 30min on youtube and looking at videos how to open ev doors.
Think I read they can, but it's in a special non obvious place. So they probably didn't know or didn't find it
They are in the front. It’s super obvious. People pull them by accident all the time instead of the electric switch. It’s right where your hand rests on the front two doors.
So they are manual after all ?
There is a manual override that’s not hidden away.
Interesting
