Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Good. No one should buy American trash.

its also overpriced, and the handles trying temulate tesla is a very big turnoff, as well as a safety issues.

I don't disagree about our cars being overpriced, so fair point there.

I used to own a Tesla Model 3 (I got rid of it for reasons you can probably guess), though, and the one thing everyone - including me at the time - universally disliked was the handles, inside and out. For the outside half, there were several times I struggled to get in during cold weather. For the inside I never had a problem with them but I understand how they could be difficult (my wife printed stickers to make ours more clear).

I know the outside ones are supposedly more aerodynamic; neither are as bad as how some people represent them ... But everyone hated them.

I suspect you were trying to troll, in which case I almost want to apologize for interfering but can't bring myself to, but if you're being earnest I feel I should offer some input.

The lack of purely mechanical interior handles in the back seat is the most egregious offense. Sure, technically they exist but 95% of Tesla owners probably aren't aware.

For context, there are easily accessible (though sort-of hidden) handles in the front, but in the back they're steel cables underneath the liner in the door pockets. Back seat passengers just burn in a fire I guess.
