NO. For the million(+1)th time, it's NOT NEW.
Another BRAND NEW Tesla idea.
Via Electrek, which is NOT a Tesla skeptic site. The Model 3 has doorhandles that have to be pushed with a thumb to pop out the part you can actually grab. This fails in cold weather.
Brand new? Nope, Chrysler tried the same trick in '56 and ran into the same problem. Chrysler switched to a direct pull-up handle in '57, and stayed with it for 50 years.
This is OBVIOUS when you think about it. A door needs a handle that is always pullable. When you can pull, you can break through ice or other stickiness. If the ice prevents you from reaching the handle, you're helpless. Tesla's "engineers" never think about anything.
EXPERIENCE WINS. THEORY KILLS.
