To be fair, I may trade alien tech for a really solid chili recipe.  Bean-free of course. 

Maybe Tesla’s should be required to have one of those emergency pamphlets in every seat like an airplane.

I thought Mercedes or BMW had a feature where it automatically rolled all the windows down after a crash?

There should be one handle per door, half pull - electronic, full pull mechanical.

Can you imagine the morons who sat there designing this thing and literally thought “how can we better hide this emergency release latch so it can’t be seen at all?”

“something that most owners, let alone a passenger in a panic, aren’t likely to have.”

The B9 platform was where Audi lost me. The S4 went from a supercharged engine back to a turbo, and the 6 speed manual was lost forever. Then there was the first of the invasion of the screens.

Just make sure you don’t store it in the trunk...

Don’t buy a Volkswagen.

This is why some systems should stay mechanical instead of going electrical.

Wait, you pull on the interior door handles and the doors don’t open? What type of hellish monstrosity is this?
