I stand corrected then, my apologies for not researching the topic enough.

Still, having to find an external power source ton open your own car is kinda badly designed. 😅

    Agreed. I'd prefer a pull handle or something, but at least there is a way of getting in at all without causing damage. I suspect it's a very rare event to need it at all.

    I've seen cars (not Tesla's, I think it was a Dodge, not sure) require the removal of an entire bumper just to change a light bulb. So I guess silly design decisions like this are not a new thing.
