- dreamcompiler 1y agoTeslas have half mechanical door releases: If you're inside the vehicle it's easy to open the doors without power--at least the front doors. The mechanical latches in the rear doors are difficult to find. But the mechanical latches are not accessible from the outside, and they should be. That's why I call them half mechanical.
- jdadj 1y agoLots of cars have mechanical latches that automatically lock when driving over 10mph. I’ve heard a lot of complaints about the safety of non-mechanical doors. But are these auto-locking mechanical doors any better?
- orwin 1y agoThe autolock disengage either 5 seconds after the airbags, or when current is cut. I think autolock feature is mandatory in the EU, as keeping doors close during a crash help with structural integrity.
- alex43578 1y agoHow would an external mechanical release not result in every car equipped with it getting continually broken into? The Kia ignition fiasco was bad enough.
- maxbond 1y agoSeems pretty simple, the lock overrides the release, and when the vehicle detects a collision it unlocks the doors.
- jpalawaga 1y agoThat’s funny considering driving any sort of a car is a higher risk activity than cocaine, statistically speaking. So perhaps you should not buy any car at all! ;-)
