  • You said there was no reason. There is a reason. You didn’t ask for a good reason. It’s also by absolutely no means unique to Tesla, despite how it is portrayed in articles like this.

    Tesla isn’t the first manufacturer to use frameless windows by any means. Audi, Toyota, Honda, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Mini, and Subaru just to name a few, have all used them in various “luxury” or higher end models over the years. It’s perceived as luxury vehicle design, so it gets used quite a bit.

    The handle not physically manipulating a latch also isn’t unique. Corvette’s have done this for years. Many recent vehicles from Lexus, Audi, Ferrari, Fiat, Lincoln, and Dodge again to name a few also use them, regardless of the flush exterior handle design. The handle design itself isn’t the issue with these deaths, it’s the electrical system failing. The flush handles causes issues with things like ice build-up, not being unable to open the door after a crash.

    Articles like this always point to these issues, and act like they’re unique to Tesla, but they’re not. It’s the same as it’s always been, Tesla headlines get clicks, which drives interaction and sharing exactly like here, which all lead to increased advertising revenue.

    You know, with that perspective it makes perfect sense now. They want the priests to do exactly that, supposedly originally to prevent bloodline dynasties, but who can really say given the secretive nature of so much shit they do at the highest levels. So if the priests can do it as an act of supposed devotion, so should every random gay person.

    Meanwhile we see the priests that have devoted their lives to the church definitely cannot manage to do that, so expecting random people to is fucking ridiculous.
