I sort of agree. The instructions were written without "rule followers" in mind.
Most people commenting here realize that there are two ways to open the door:
1. Press the button
2. Pull a mechanical release latch
Obviously the second would work. There's a good chance that the first would work too. She tried neither.
The reasons were because she was instructed not to. For some, that sounds like the most normal thing in the world. For others it is bizarre. It is fun to watch the comments from both sides. :)
- eschneider 3y agoPeople rationally worry that pressing the button during an update might brick the car. Not an unreasonable worry. And I've seen reports that the mechanical release latch doesn't always work. In any case, this is horrible design. You need to let users do whatever during upgrades (because, they WILL) and recover gracefully. Anything else is a horror show.
- _ea1k 3y agoThe manual release latch does always work. TBH, they should be clearer that opening the door is ok, but I get why it is somewhat of a challenge. Parts of the update may trigger window recalibration, and that isn't really intended to be done with the door opening or closing at the time. They should inform the user to get themselves and anything needed out. There really won't be a solution for unreasonable people who refuse to do so at that point.
