I am avoiding Tesla because their design philosophy and decisions are gimmicky and don’t not prioritize functionality.
If I am going to spend big money on a car I am going with quality. Not some gimmicky pos where you can’t even open the doors if the battery cuts out. I’ll pass on the touchscreen with wheels.
I agree with you 100%, but your example doesn’t work. There IS a mechanical way to open the door. There’s a concealed handle near the window controls.
Still won’t buy one because the quality is shit and Muskrat is a shitbag, but if you’re gonna hate, hate for the right reasons :)
In an emergency when you are panicking and haven't practiced opening it tho? If you even know where it is?
I would be surprised if even half of tesla owners know where the handle is
Knowing what I know now at this very moment, I would preemptively practice emergency exit from a Tesla ASAP. Practice regularly like we would practice fire drills in a house.
Nah, you can’t do that bruh. It’s only for emergencies. In fact using it can damage your door. It’s a STUPID fucking design.
Yikes, that's awful. K I'll stick with my Mercedes, am no longer remotely envious of teslas anymore.
My passengers find the emergency release all the time.
It's not "unobvious" either.
Been in one a few times. Had zero idea that was there.
