Electronic door latches are not a Tesla invention. They are featured in many vehicles. They’re considered a luxury item and presumably some people like them over a mechanical latch.

All Teslas have a mechanical override. In the 3 and Y it’s very obvious in the front seat (so obvious that some of my passengers instinctively use it over the electronic latch. Doing so repeatedly can damage the weather stripping). The back seat has no override (that I know of).

It’s less obvious (but still present) in the S and X.

Take from that what you will, but this is only a story because it’s Tesla.

It just comes up because everyone that shorted Tesla stock hoping for a big payday just got their asses handed to them and their money taken away.

Lol.
