Yea I love EVs but wtf, stop making the handles recessed. It doesn't add much to range and it only makes using the car harder. I have an EV9 and I hate the handles. Just let us push the handle to pop it out like old entertainment center glass doors.

This is a reminder that if you own a car, get a window breaker/seat belt cutter tool, and keep it in an easy-to-reach location in your car. They cost less than $10. After a crash, doors can get stuck or they may be locked, and seat belts may be hard to disengage. These tools are not only useful for your own car. If any bystander had that tool, they could have assisted regardless of the car model.

Tesla tests in production. People die. This is super simple.

How do we know its a "design flaw" and not a murder via remote car control? These kind of crashes should be treated as potential murders until it can be shown otherwise.
Man, imagine if Musk could just tell his fleet of cars to accelerate into the nearest utility pole or off the nearest bridge. He could just push that patch down to anybody he wants. Probably completely untracked.
Eh, he most likely could do that. Reason#253 why I wouldn't buy a Tesla.
I will never assosiatr Tesla with actual company name. Tesla (OG) did invent bunch of things. Company should be named Edison at least.
Another defect, with the door handle design, thwarted bystanders who were trying to rescue the driver, Jeff Dennis, and his wife, Wendy, from the car
I don't get this argument. In most cars door lock automatically and don't unlock in case of a crash. The bystanders wouldn't be able to open the door in vast majority of modern cars. In Tesla you may not be able to open to door from the inside as well which is worse but I don't know what defect they are talking about.
