The more I learn about Tesla’s vehicles in real life, the more I think they must be designed as a joke. The inside parts literally fall off, the windshield wipers cost $100, the handles won’t work if a button breaks, the full self-driving isn’t as good at recognizing obstacles as my 2017 Subaru is, and I don’t even remember what else.
This isn’t quite right, there’s a button to open the door (one of like nine buttons in the entire car) but there’s is also a lever you can pull in case of emergencies… Like if the car’s electrical system fails.
Everything else is true.
There also is no physical way to open the glove box, you have to use a voice command or dig through the settings on the built-in tablet.
There also is no physical way to set the wiper speed, that’s also done through the tablet or voice command. There’s a button to do a single wipe, or clean the window if you hold it down, but no way to keep the wipers on without taking your eyes off the road.
Don’t even get me started on how absolutely stupid it is that you have to remove two inner body panels to change the cabin air filter.
There’s so many of these types of things, it’s ridiculous. The sad part is that it could have been a pretty nice car if someone on the design team had just an ounce of common sense.
Don’t forget to tell them it’s a button to open it from the inside, not the handle for emergency exits!

Wow, the more I learn about these pieces of junk, the worst they seem.
