            You said other manufacturers fail at “this” referring to the 12v battery dying, but the context here is a child being trapped in a car when that battery fails. If the 12v battery fails on any other car you simply pull the handle and the door opens.

                Ok fine, what other manufacturer traps someone inside when the battery fails?

                You mentioned the hidden latch on another thread. Should I bring my question over there instead? I may conflated two discussions because you’re up and down this post defending Tesla’s boneheaded decisions.

                  “Should I bring my question over there instead?”

                  That’s usually what people do so conversations can actually be followed and come in a logical order…

                    I don’t know. I don’t understand why you’re asking me this.

                    Because this article is about someone being trapped in a car when the battery died, and saying “it’s hard to tell when a battery is going to fail” skips over the fundamental problem of being unable to open the door when that happens.

      Even if she did receive warnings, she’s a grandmother who easily could miss one of the many messages on the car. It’s just bad design.
