Inside or outside? Ik they have issue with inside door handles and safety but I don't see a need to redesign outside handles?
https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2025-tesla-dangerous-doors/
Non-functional outside handles are just as bad as non-functional inside ones. Not always is the person on the inside able to open the door on their own.
So those would be the model S and X electric outside handles and not the 3 and Y mechanical ones? Yeah, that seems like a safety issue.
The rear interior handles on the 3 and Y absolutely need to be redesigned tho
As long as the model 3/y were mechanically operated, I'm not sure their push to pull mechanism is bad or a problem, but the model s/x have electronically presenting handles that need power to present themselves as they pop out horizontally, not with a hinge like 3/y, and you can't really just make that mechanical like you can the model 3/y ones, and the CyberTruck doesn't even have exterior handles.
