I wonder whether they will also require that the interior handle be able to open the door without power. Older Teslas got this right but newer ones broke it, and I really cannot fathom why given that Tesla had already engineered right solution.
(In an old Tesla, as you pull the handle, you first actuate a switch that triggers the window to retract slightly and then, as you pull farther, you mechanically release the latch. It works very well.)
Cars are a weird world where there are a lot of small "I'm not sure anyone likes this" things that get rolled out and become almost defacto standards, despite being something that I'm not sure anyone likes it.
I'm looking at buying a new vehicle soon and there's so much to not like...

Possibly dumb question from someone who's not Tesla-savvy: why would you want the door handle to retract the window slightly while opening the door?
