    its also overpriced, and the handles trying temulate tesla is a very big turnoff, as well as a safety issues.

      I don’t disagree about our cars being overpriced, so fair point there.

      I used to own a Tesla Model 3 (I got rid of it for reasons you can probably guess), though, and the one thing everyone - including me at the time - universally disliked was the handles, inside and out. For the outside half, there were several times I struggled to get in during cold weather. For the inside I never had a problem with them but I understand how they could be difficult (my wife printed stickers to make ours more clear).

      I know the outside ones are supposedly more aerodynamic; neither are as bad as how some people represent them … But everyone hated them.

      I suspect you were trying to troll, in which case I almost want to apologize for interfering but can’t bring myself to, but if you’re being earnest I feel I should offer some input.

        The lack of purely mechanical interior handles in the back seat is the most egregious offense. Sure, technically they exist but 95% of Tesla owners probably aren’t aware.

        For context, there are easily accessible (though sort-of hidden) handles in the front, but in the back they’re steel cables underneath the liner in the door pockets. Back seat passengers just burn in a fire I guess.
