Tesla’s Futuristic Door Handles Blamed for Death in Fiery Wreck
- dv_dt 7y agoThis is not ideal (model 3 handles seem like they can be manually operated from outside). But also not a big deal - if a normal handled car was locked, it also doesn't open from the outside. And a policeman doesn't have a way to break a window? Or often cars in wrecks have their doors jam shut from the impact too, that's why firemen carry jaws-of-life tools too.
- trevyn 7y agoMany cars have a system that automatically unlocks doors in an accident for exactly this reason.
- bognition 7y agoModel 3 doors are purely manual. They fold in flush but pivot out when you push on them.
- trelliscoded 7y agoI agree, something here doesn't make sense. I can think of multiple objects a typical patrol officer would have that could break the windshield. I do think there should be built in fire suppression on high capacity lithium ion battery packs though; jet airliners have had the same technology for quite some time.
