My EV has door handles.

@chris I would question whomever allowed those cars to be admissible to be driven on roads.
It shouldn’t pass a emergency safety check.

@chris I get that electric vehicles are awesome and can be so much less complex to build than an ICE car, but I absolutely don't get this enshittification of electric door handles, touch screens instead of buttons and knobs. Makes the whole car unnecessarily complex and unsafe to handle manually.
