They are not mechanical.
You’re both right: this is where we need more precise language
Model 3 and Y, most Teslas, have mechanical handles. However all Teslas have an electronic latch mechanism
The handles are not mechanically connected to anything. They're just a really weird button that you can use to pull the door open.
