Some aeroplanes use somewhat similar mechanism for rock and pop out handle for latching service panels on outer skin of the plane in aerodynamic fashion. Ofcourse those are tied to mechanical latch. As he said in video. Just have that thing pull a rod, that pops a latch. Heck one can even have a servo on top. Have three pull rods. Outer handle, innerhandle and servo. Then one can have cool app controlled electric popping door AND manual override. After all they did implement emergency override on the front doors........

Yeah I don't get why people want Tesla's. I used to want one, until I learned about them. I've seen people replace motors by 100K miles. Not cheap. The fitment and quality is atrocious. The luxury is sub-par for the segment. Battery degradation = not good either. People be like; "I DON'T GOTTA DO OIL CHANGES" meanwhile they're replacing their motors. Also, lets not forget that Tesla doesn't support right to repair, so if you ever want to fix the car yourself, take it to a cheap mechanic, or install anything Aftermarket, have fun with that, because you can't easily. You could say; "Its electric so its better for the environment" but in the end, buying a used car is technically better for the environment, or keeping yours alive, and either way, gas is way more convenient currently. Who the hell wants to plug in their car on road trips or when they get home? Oh, and finally, their strongest reason to buy a Tesla - Autopilot. Technically there is a similar tech called 'open pilot', its about 80% of what a Tesla can do for $1000's, and it can hook up to a decent amount of new cars. Its also open source unlike autopilot. You can buy a 20K corolla and install it with open pilot and have it self-drive, or get a 40K lexus ES which will crush the Tesla in luxury and reliability AND still be gas convenient AND it will drive itself with open pilot. Tesla is outclassed once you actually research into what it is and the competitors.

Honestly, I think the biggest problem for tesla is that they have too much hype, their demand is too high.
