Snake Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 A doctor in Florida burned to death because the battery in his Tesla burst into flames and the car's futuristic door handles wouldn't allow a police officer to rescue him, according to a legal complaint. Dr Omar Awan died in February after his Tesla hit a palm tree. ...part of the design of the Tesla Model S is to retract the door handles into the car and they then "auto-present" and pop out when the car's key fob is detected nearby. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doorider Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Don't most cars automatically lock the doors and someone outside can't open it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F3600 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I have to admit where I was wrong with Tesla. I didn't think they would get the manufacturing process down to hit their target of 7000 Model 3's a week but it looks like they have. I also underestimated peoples willingness to pay more than the $35k price point that was initially placed on the model 3. It sill surprises me that people will pay north of $40K for a Model 3, outside the EV capability the car is extremely cheap feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
