Maybe it's time for the industry to look toward Lexus and Audi for the solution to this pretty serious concern
Dozens of cars today use electric poppers to open their doors. In some cases, the physical backup is somewhat hidden or tough to find. The all-new Dodge Charger Daytona seems to follow the trend of hidden handles. For well over a decade, some production cars have shown up to owners with electric door poppers. The technology isn't exclusive to electric vehicles or exactly novel, either. The C5 Chevrolet Corvette has electronic door releases, as does the Dodge Viper.
The new Jeep Wagoneer S has a similar design with a slightly easier-to-find and access manual release. It's easy to see why some condemn handles like this. Will drivers unfamiliar with the car be able to get out in the case of a crash or power failure in the car? That's a real issue that many Tesla drivers have ended up complaining about.
