As they should, stupid over complicated and absolutely failure ridden unnecessary design. kinda like this poorly worded statement

Is it really that hard to make one of those recessed handles with a mechanical linkage instead of an electric one? Seems like the real issue is the electric door latch itself, not the style of handle.

Next can we outlaw touchscreens? I'm guessing they are far more dangerous in the end.

Good, it's such an incredibly stupid design. Literally no one was bothered by a slight handle for better UX.

Can China ban retina burning headlights, rear facing floodlights and aftermarket exhausts now?

When even China has to ban your product due to safety concerns, you've probably made some seriously bad design choices somewhere along the line.

I remember noting the bad handles and windows when sitting in one.

The headline is terrible. They’re not banning retractable door handles, they’re banning electronic mechanisms for opening doors. Door handles can still be retractable, they just need to work mechanically without power not electronically like Tesla handles do. Which makes a fuck-ton more sense than having emergency manual release cables that nobody knows about. Last thing you want in an emergency is an escape route that requires special knowledge or tools to use.

It all depends on the details, I kid the article is blatantly wrong > All Tesla models use flush, electronically actuated handles that blend into the bodywork I believe this is only the model s and x, a small minority of their vehicles. My model y has a physically presented handle - you press on one side to pop out the other - NOT electronic self-presenting. I believe that’s true of model 3 and y, the vast majority of teslas. That being said, there’s several things this may mean. Is it just the self-presenting they don’t like? What about buttons like on the cybertruck? What about the manual operated handle like on the model 3 and y? Or is the important part the electronic latch mechanism internally? I have no idea what safety features that has. If it’s literally just the self-presenting handles on the high end models like the article mentions, that’s probably no big deal. They don’t sell many of those and the model x especially is way overdue for redesign or to be ended. Hopefully it’s more than that though

I still wouldn‘t willingly enter a Chinese car or a Tesla.
