I'm trying to think of a way the doors could open in the event of a crash without the frame being compromised. I suppose a time delayed trigger in the event of a crash where the airbags and seatbelts are triggerd the doors will open automatically. However it's more complex and depending on how its implemented my still need power.
Maybe they could just use normal door handles.
i seen this other EV BRANDS, personally they dont look good on the doors, and it seemed so flimsy
But those can cost pennies to manufacture! Pennies!
Multiply that by the cost of a million unsold cars and it soon adds up!
Yeah, but the mentally deficient k-addict in charge thinks that's "notncool enough" and wants fancy fly-by-wire doors.
Designing an electronic door handle isn't fancy, it's cheap. Fancy would be a functional mechanical door handle that opens without power under adverse conditions by anyone that has seen a car door built in the last 100 years. Real luxury and good design should be so safe, reliable, and intuitive that you (the user) never have to even think about it
