    Even if you identify the door handle on a model 3 (and Y, I believe) people do not know how to use them.

    Used to own a model 3 and had to explain how to open the doors to every single person who has never been in one.

    Ps: no longer have it, Elon exposed as mad right wing mf, … not the point here

      Countries should have regulations banning cars like that anyway. Every car should have to have an easily accessible door handle, in a standard location, that operates mechanically.

      Same way touchscreens should be banned for basic functions. Buttons and knobs should be required for things like climate control, volume, window control, light control etc

        If the US had a real NHTSA any more, they would be investigating why Tesla cars are the top crashed brand, three years in a row. Good luck insuring those cars.

      Honestly, if you got rid of it due to Elmo being a scumbag and a fascist, props to you. We should absolutely talk about that. I would have also accepted getting rid of it due to Teslas generally being garbage, but that would get an extra nod.

        It was leased, so there was a natural end to my relationship with Tesla. Did not buy or lease a new one b/c Elon.

        Decided to try without a car. That was in 2023. Turns out live goes on without a car just fine.
