  • I’m not reading the manual of the Uber I’m about to climb into. A firefighter isn’t going to read the manual of a car they’re trying to pry me out of.

    I DO read the manual on the Kia I actually drive. To read about the recommendations for the tires. To read about replacing fuses. To find the load hauling capacity. Not how to open the fucking door.

    safety shouldn’t influence artistic choice

    Did you really just string those words together in all seriousness without a hint of irony? And that folks is exactly why we need the NHTSA.

    A child isn’t going to find that. A rescuer who isn’t familiar with Teslas isn’t going to be able to find that.

    I couldn’t even figure out how to open a fully functional door from outside the first time I got in a Tesla. I’m an adult who’s been driving my entire life.

    That’s not innovation; it’s a safety hazard for the sake of the aesthetics of a handle that doesn’t stick out. I don’t view that as a reasonable trade-off.
