    Is it really that hard to make one of those recessed handles with a mechanical linkage instead of an electric one?

    Seems like the real issue is the electric door latch itself, not the style of handle.

      Tesla whined about it citing all the crap they’d have to work around in their design in order to make a normal mechanical linkage. Funny how no other upper tier manufacturer has trouble with all the power windows and window power pre-offsetting for interference fits. They manage to have mechanical linkages.
