There is still a mechanical latch but it is on the inside and is well-hidden.

It doesn't look hidden to me, I expect I'd probably use that by accident myself.

Front seat? Sure. Back seat? Nah. You have to remove paneling, pull a tab up, then pull a cord forward. That is a three step, non-obvious and non-intuitive way to open a door.

Or, climb into the front seat and open the front door.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Or, all doors should have an obvious mechanical backup that doesn't require that.

Agree to disagree, I suppose. It just looks like a piece of trim to me.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lol its not hidden at all.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

LOL ok

If you owned one you'd know i guess. The M3 has un hidden regular door pulls on the inside both front and rear doors. Idk about the Y.

I know it's cool to hate Tesla, but wrong is wrong, despite the downvotes.

I do own one, ya doofus.

Then how the fuck do you think they're hidden doofus. Every second passenger tries to pull them.
