As much as I like the look of flush door handles, I don't like the idea of reaching my fingers inside of a thing that opens and closes electronically.

How many miles of range would we lose by having regular old fashioned door handles, anyway?

    For Tesla model 3 and y, the handle itself is mechanical. You push on one side to make the handle pop out. If you do it right, the motion is similar to door handles with buttons: your thumb presses the “button” and your hand pulls the handle
