When I search for ‘California DMV’ the official site is the first one, and NeedTags doesn’t appear anywhere in the 11 pages of results.

this is the only comment needed on this post lol 

Torque figures, tire specs, track surface, and a whole lot more bits of data are needed to properly parse these claims.

I can absolutely see why so many people are confused:

Definitely and completely. Fog, snow, rain... all of which will completely baffle it.

This was a civil case, and Presidents can not pardon civil convictions.

When the fuck are any of these fucking assholes going to be locked the fuck up?

In their defense, there is an awful lot of news right now involving Musk and/or Trump.  I hear ya, though.  I could use a break from all of that.

The fact that it is required to engineer and implement a mechanical “back up” suggests to me that it is absolutely not cheaper or more cost effective to go with electronic door pulls.

First off, middle of the pack?? They are entirely hidden from view... on purpose! You really think that is a good idea in any way? If so, please explain. And while you’re at it, go ahead and list all of the cars that also have completely hidden door handles and why they aren’t equally dumb.

“That front release is well designed and intelligently placed.”

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

No, he just doesn’t care if he does.

Or pop the plastic cover off of the rear emergency door release, reach down awkwardly and grip it for dear life.

My only experience is a front end collision that bent the car bad enough the trunk didn’t work right. Drivers door let me out just fine. If a 2004 Mitsubishi could do that, why can't this? Does elmo want to murder people?

It’s painfully obvious how Trump won a second time.

With what they spent on the cheapest used Lambo and the cheapest duct tape, I could pay off my mortgage and my truck loan and still have ~$60k left over.

I’ve only ridden in a Tesla once, in the back seat of an Uber. Besides it being uncomfortable with no room under the seat for my toes, I couldn’t figure out how to open the door from the inside. How did anybody not notice this might be a problem?

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

My 992 has electronic door handles. If the power fails, guess how you open them? The same way you open them when the power is on. Same lever. It just uses the mechanical latch when there isn’t power. If Teslas were well-designed they would work the same way, but Teslas are low-end garbage.
