I find people are much more likely to over key on their first-hand accounts than to rightly consider how small their sample-size is.
So in terms of common "mistakes" I see, I think yours is the larger. "First hand accounts" are never unbiased, and are rarely well-collected data. I'm not saying I don't believe OP here, I think this is probably the exception to the rule, but I think you're just wrong.
The plural of anecdote isn't data, because it hasn't been collected in any meaningfully standardizable way.
Edit: If you need evidence this is clearly an anecdote:
> every single passenger who had never been on a Tesla before always uses the manual release handle instead of the right button, and I get a warning message on the screen and the risk of breaking the window glass.
OP is probably assuming that everyone who gets it correct has been in a Tesla before. But given the 2 options and how close they are together, I'd be pretty surprised if no one had gotten this correct on their first try. One of the buttons is much more visible than the other. So either OP's sample size is small enough to be uninteresting, or hyperbole. Either way, it's not data, and it's wrong to treat it as such.
What it does tell us, is that this probably isn't a problem for everyone but that hardly matters to the people who can't figure out how to get out of a Model 3 right now.
