What the actual fuck. Why would a door handle be so god damned difficult?
The Model Y has it hidden too: the back (you know, where small children are likely to be) has its manual release under the floor mat. And the exterior door handles need power to pop out, obviously, since they're flush with the door normally. So if you have power out, and there are kids in the back with extreme heat or a fire or something, good fucking luck.
How on Earth did the NHTSA let this shit happen?
