Elon Musk delusionally believes Trump support is not affecting Tesla, claims sales are at 'all-time highs' (electrek.co)

I, for one, definitely won't be buying another Tesla as long as Naziboy Musk has anything to do with the company.

Every Tesla has always had prominent manual door release mechanisms on the front doors. So prominent, in fact, that most people who try to get out of the car for the first time instinctually go for it (on the Model 3 and Y, at least). The rear doors depend on model/year, but are mostly much less prominent/accessible since it would defeat the purpose of the child lock.

I just want a car with actual door handles. That it has weird electric ones just shows that Tesla over-engineers for cool factor.

The Model 3 and Model Y have regular door handles.
