    Being able to quickly get out of a burning car is important. If you only ever use the electronic door handle and your electrical system is damaged by…the fire, then you are much more likely to burn. The same problem exists on the outside of the car as rescuers have a harder time getting in to save people.

    Getting stuck outside of the car in the winter is also pretty common when there is not a good place to grab when the door is covered in ice.


    Car manufacturers have been making normal door handles for forever. Tesla ‘fixed’ something that wasn’t broken.

      I was more talking shit on news organizations. Agreed, that should be no brainer legislation that already exists, similar to fire code in buildings.
