Ok fine, what other manufacturer traps someone inside when the battery fails?
You mentioned the hidden latch on another thread. Should I bring my question over there instead? I may conflated two discussions because you’re up and down this post defending Tesla’s boneheaded decisions.
I don’t know. I don’t understand why you’re asking me this.
Because this article is about someone being trapped in a car when the battery died, and saying “it’s hard to tell when a battery is going to fail” skips over the fundamental problem of being unable to open the door when that happens.
It’s not “skipping over” anything. I was not commenting on the door latches. I was commenting on a specific failure to do with the battery exclusively. I commented elsewhere that the latches a terrible and stupid design. Every car should have mechanical door latches, inside and out. If for no other reason than simplicity and reliability.

That’s usually what people do so conversations can actually be followed and come in a logical order…

I have been both both critical and supportive of Tesla, depending on the topic of discussion. It’s called being objective.
