    Well that’s down to unsafe design. Car locks that don’t open in an emergency has nothing to do with EV or not. All cars have electric locks these days run from the low voltage (12v/24v) battery.

      Totally, and you never hear about it with other EVs. But the image of being trapped in a burning car with no door handle is fucking terrifying and Elon has given EVs that association.

      Just like I think every EV is just a stupid tablet on wheels with OTA updates that sells your data to third parties.

      Oh wait that’s every car now so I’m never buying one newer than 2018.
