Shouldn't an electric be programmed to open if it finds itself undergoing powerloss? Isn't that like a very basic failsafe? One so basic it's the plot to an indie horror game that wasn't intended for children but found an audience there anyway?

Clearly Tesla opted for the fail-deadly route instead of the fail-safe route. Fuckin ridiculous.

In all honesty, I don't see a good solution to electronic doors. If the power dies while it's just sitting in your driveway, now it's open, if the doors open on electricity loss. Definitely better than what they have now, but I'd prefer something completely different. Like what if we had a series of levers and cables that opened the door? I know, it's like, next level crazy, but maybe...

this is why electric locks should NOT be relied on for safety: electric locks MUST default open when something goes wrong, which means that picking them is as easy as making them malfunction or cutting the power.

Except power cables are inside and to pick them you first need to pick them.
