    Well it wasn’t historically a problem because doors still had handles on the outside. Then tesla had to “innovate” on that.

      Have you never opened a Tesla door? It’s not hard. It’s a handle - you just have to push in the one side first.

        They are electrically actuated instead of physically connected to the latch. They have a habit of not operating after a crash. It’s a whole thing.

          I’m pretty sure that’s normal with a lot of cars. Or at least the part you pull or push doesn’t engage with the latch unless the lock is disabled, which has the same effect even if there’s a mechanical key hole.
