3·2 days agoHave you seriously never just had that one moment where your hands were full and you needed the keys out of your hand for a second but you knew you were about to need the keys again shortly so you just put them in your mouth real quick so that you can do what you need to do and then grab the keys again
11·2 days agoYes, but it’s hidden behind the speaker Grill rather than just right on the door handle all the other models also have some type of covering or otherwise have hidden it it seems only the model 3 decided to put it in a very obvious spot
You know what that’s entirely fair, looks like the M3 is the only not braindead design one then. I wouldn’t touch anything other than an M3 then personally (if i was going to use a tesla at all)
Yes i agree the lack of external manual release is a problem. Wouldn’t be hard to put one on the underside of the door frame if it truly must be hidden. Their external door solution appears to be the jumping port in the frunk to get the 12v system alive again. Which is obviously a shit solution.
The rear is under a cover, I will agree that that is dumb it should be in the same place as the front. Or if the goal was to avoid children randomly pulling it while going down the road at the very least it shouldn’t be covered and just in the little pocket cubby thing. That’s a valid complaint, although at the end of the day even with a normal car a toddler who was in their seat would likely be screwed as the child lock would most likely be activated.
The real issue here is a lack of any external manual release, wouldn’t be that difficult to put one along the bottom side trim of the door. This would allow you to both give it a keyhole and have it out of the way aesthetically. I’d say just put a manual handle on myself, but if you absolutely must have completely smooth the hidden handle door at the very least make sure there’s an external one somewhere for manual release
If the toddler is locked into their seat they likely aren’t opening any door regardless. This Is Us ignoring the fact that most rear doors have a child lock button that is usually activated at least most parents I’ve seen with toddlers generally activate that button.
There are so many legitimate things to complain about here I’m just annoyed by people basically saying wow how does it not have a manual release, or why is it hidden. When it’s not.
The real problem here is the lack of any external manual release. Obviously it would still need to somehow be locked with a key that is not electronic, but there should still be some type of manual release even if it’s on the bottom trim of the door for the sake of your Aesthetics or whatever. The complete and utter lack of any external manual release is the problem here but nobody is talking about that and is instead just making shit up about how there is no manual release for the inside, or it’s hidden, or difficult to use, I’m just tired of people making shit up.
It is not hidden, covered, obfuscated, or even in a weird location. It’s literally sitting right on the door handle. Also even with a standard 1990 car with fully manual doors you are not going to be escaping out the doors if your car falls into water. The pressure differential of the water pushing against your door prevents you from opening it until the entire inside of the car has filled with water, MythBusters did a whole episode on this back in the day if you want to go find that for the full story. But the tldr is that once your car is in the water you’re only Escape options are to break the window, get the window rolled down, or wait until the entire car has filled with water and the pressure equalizes

Easy enough to get out, if you have a couple braincells to rub together. The manual release is not hidden, covered, obfuscated, or even in a weird location. It’s literally right on the door handle

It is, people are just stupid, can’t be bothered to read, or even wonder what that lever literally right on the door handle is for.

She died of stupid, the release is literally right on the door. It’s not hidden, obfuscated, covered, or in any way shape or form difficult to use. Just another idiot that didn’t bother learning what all the controls on their new card did.
That being said, even with a manual release they most likely would have died anyway. As once your car is in the water unless you’re able to open the door basically instantaneously upon hitting the water you’re going to find that the door is impossible to open as the weight of the water will prevent it until such time as the car has filled with water to equalize the pressure. Generally speaking people that survive cars falling into water were able to get the window open, or just break it entirely. The door is almost never the Escape Route as it will not allow itself to be opened due to the difference in pressure

Only takes about a half second Google search to find out, it’s literally a handle right on the door. Just above the window switches. It’s not hidden, obfuscated, covered, or even in a weird spot

True, a toddler wouldn’t think to look directly on the door handle. Not really the type of place you’d expect to find a door release you know /s
There is a lot of reasons to hate elon, and there is a lot of reasons to hate tesla. But it really pisses me off when people just make these circle jerk hate threads based on something they didn’t even spend half a second Googling. It just makes all the legitimate issues easier for people to blow off

Nothing about it is hidden, obfuscated, or even in a weird spot. It’s literally right on the fucking door handle. There’s a lot of reasons to hate elon, and there’s a lot of reasons to hate tesla. Let’s stick to the legitimate ones instead of making shit up, it just weakens the arguments for the actual issues

It’s not fucking hidden, it’s right on the fucking door. Right there, in plain view. Fuck elon but equally fuck idiots who never read their manual or bother to learn fucking anything about a product then claim bullshit like that. Nothing about this is fucking hidden.
The rear doors also have one, that’s the only one you could argue is “hidden” as it’s in the little storage pocket area

I like testing websites maximum length. I’ll set bitwarden random generator to like 100 and see if it accepts the password. After that I start testing if it’s actually using the whole password or arbitrarily cutting it off early without telling me
4·6 days agoThey literally risk their lifes and if they do die it’s in probably one of the most horrific ways imaginable. I think we can afford 80 an hour for them at the very least
Sure here are a few videos about specifically plastic. The us is the focus in most of them as it generates the most plastic overall, however the key issues mentioned affect the entire industry worldwide (which most of them mention) if you dig around other recycling studies you find lots of cardboard is contaminated before ever reaching the recycling center. I wasn’t clear enough about the logos and stuff, it’s not really the ink but the plastic based wax layer over it to keep it looking nice. The boxes that squeek when you let em slide out your hands
Just a reminder that recycling is a lie, and that pretty much anywhere in the world 90% of plastic just ends up in the landfill regardless of whether or not you properly sorted into recycling. The cost of sorting, processing, and then reusing the plastic is more expensive than simply using new plastic so it’s not profitable. And the vast majority of cardboard is on usable due to the different types of dyes used to put logos colors Etc on it or is otherwise contaminated on its way to the recycling facility
Pretty much the only materials actually for real reused and recycled is glass and metals like aluminum and steel
Owners manual says it’s behind some kinda grill on the x, at least that’s what’s coming up when I search for it
