Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash

  That’s fine then. We’re relearning why all cars with manual transmissions have the same foot pedal and shift pattern arrangement. It’s so in a panic situation, people aren’t having to orientate themselves mentally and can just go off of muscle memory to save themselves. I should be shock that Tesla didn’t hire any auto industry veterans that know that, but I’m not. This reeks of software dev shit where every new MBA coming in just has to shake things up and reinvent everything so they can leave their mark.

    It reeks because they “leave their mark” just like an unneutered cat.

    Anyone who has ever been in a Tesla knows they’re a software company, not a car company. The cars are made like crap.

    I still wouldn’t go back to ICE though.

      Nothing about having an EV drive train requires electric doors. Others have already said that other EVs have manual doors or manual override for panic situations.

        Didn’t say I wouldn’t go back to manual latches, just not going back to ICE (or selling my almost paid cars) because elon is a twit or they are unreasonably dangerous in the event of a freak accident.

        This is a stupid problem to have, but expected value says most people will never have it.

    I read an article that Teslas are designed to have thier electrics in a daisy chain to avoid big ugly bundles of wires. But that just means a failure propagates down the chain so non critical systems can take out critical onea.
