Brick the pedal if Tesla comes with a gas pedal. I'm just a simpleton who drives a 2014 Toyota. These are above my pay grade

I had a similar issue with my Scion TC where the trunk had a rubber grip that you squeezed and that bitch was frozen solid every winter. And there wasn't a trunk button on the keyfob so you had to pop it from the interior.

That car was less than 20k tho

It's relatively easy to fix that with a rubber mallet/your bare hands and some elbow grease, you still have the handle available.

In this case said handle is frozen inside the car chassis.

yank it open by grabbing what. the handle is stuck inside the door. and sure you can wriggle your fingers into the gaps and break the ice around the door... but without releasing the handle it will not open

tbqh, i'd grab some windwhield washer fluid if I had it, dump it on there, then give some good bottom of the fist punches to the area to jar it loose.

well, to be fair, Nissan did it years before tesla did with the current body style GTR...but people who tend to buy those tend to be more..."mechanically capable", lets call it, so you never really heard about people unable to solve the problem themselves with WD-40, lock de-icer, alcohol, ect...

I can't for the life of me understand why anyone is buying these things. It's like their entire design philosophy is to take a problem that doesn't exist and try to solve it. Everything about these cars scream impractical. How they tricked the world into thinking they're something worth owning is beyond me.

Instead of catering to normal car enthusiast's market, they catered to a techy, "geek = chique" market, and that kind of spiraled into the brand becoming fashionable, that paired with elon musk being elon musk devolved the whole thing into a brand cult of sycophants.

Seems he received a nice paycheck from Tesla for downplaying the issue. What if both doors would have been frozen?

Also, I can totally see the option to open the handle via the app be a 12k USD DLC because Apple, I mean, Tesla.

Yeah it's kinda disgusting how they tie options for the car to the owner and not the car itself, disabling previously enabled options when the car is sold to a new person.

They're nothing new and all cars are shifting towards this style of door handles or removing it entirely, like Tesla is also about it do. Side mirrors are next. It eliminates drag so it uses less fuel, etc.

The new Cadilliac CTS's door handle looks like a normal handle, but it doesn't move, it has a button on the inside you press. It's such a stupid design imo.
