Now, I’m no expert, but, that’s like the #1 thing a vehicle shouldn’t do. That and randomly exploding. I’m I wrong here? Is really Tesla 0/2 on the most basic things vehicles shouldn’t do?

The doors should open. Even when the vehicle is off or has no power.

Especially when it's off or has no power.

But what if it's on fire? It's okay for them to not work if it's on fire right? Asking for a billionaire...

If it's on fire. The vehicle should go into lock down and seal itself shut to starve the fire if oxygen. Duh!

Especially battery electric cars that burn without oxygen should do that to contain the fumes which otherwise would endanger people nearby.

Never leave the vehicle! It's for your own safety! We can't guarantee your safety if you leave the vehicle!

The panels shouldn't fall off. Probably shouldn't be glued on, but definitely shouldn't fall off. 0/3

There's nothing wrong with glue. Every windshield you see is glued in, most hoods are glued together, every exterior trim on most modern cars is glue. every manufacturer uses probably 80 pounds of adhesives in a car.

Glue is great. When it's done right.
