    I prefer my cars with quality testing, hardware that is not consumer grade that lasts more than a year, and mechanical doors so if the battery dies after buckling a kid in the car seat they aren’t trapped in the vehicle with the only option to smash the window. I’d love to live in fear with no guarantee the steering wheel won’t fall off while I’m driving on the highway.

      Not to be that guy… But that’s not a thing? Teslas last practically forever by the current standards. 3 hasn’t been around that long to say the same thing.

      But also, there is door release for the very thing you’re describing. If owners of the car don’t know it, the fuck are they doing owning a car? To me it’s unthinkable for someone to not know how to open their boot from inside or disengage the dead bolt from inside. That’s just next level stupid. If we were to never touch a car with no defects, we’d be still relying on horses.

      Dislike Tesla all you want, he’ll, I’m with you. But not when you use examples like this. Use actual negatives.
