- andsoitis 9mo agoYes, EV and other automobile companies have copied Tesla on this and many other things. Doesn't mean Tesla is responsible for their choices. Especially 13 years later when we have a lot more data (do we?) that these style door handles are statistically more dangerous than alternatives.
