> No door handles, press a button and pull the metal railing to open the door
Certain Fiats in the 1980s had an arrangement where, rather than a door handle, you'd push a button and the door would pop open. It is... not a car feature I would necessarily have expected to reappear in 2023.
Half this stuff has been standard tesla design for a while and are typically liked by Tesla drivers -
- no door handles
- driving speed on center console
- glove box controlled by console
- gear shift not in-between driver/passenger
Contrarian I guess.... but not bad
Also "no rear view mirror" - it was clearly stated in the video that is only for the production test model and real production models will have rear and side view mirrors.
- No door handles, press a button and pull the metal railing to open the door
- No rear-view mirror, use the console to see what's behind you
- Your driving speed is no longer in front of the steering wheel, it's in the console
- Your glove box doesn't have a manual latch, dig into settings to open the glove box
- The gear shifter is in the console or above you
Seems like Elon went full contrarian when designing the car.
