> Hell, most passengers need a lesson on how to open and close the doors.
Everything I read about Tesla's doors make them sound like a deathtrap. Call me old fashioned, but I want doors and hood/trunk latches to work even if the vehicle is unpowered.
They do - there is a physical latch you can pull (at least in the Model Y) that opens the door even when the car is totally unpowered.
I never actually knew about them, but I had passengers find them because people don't think of pushing a button to open a door. And when the latch is used, the car beeps at you and says something along the lines of "Your windows might be broken now when you do that".
