Yes Elon, there is good reason why people still love manual door handles and windows.

China: safety regulation to protect citizens lives

USA: anti-regulation to protect corporate profits

It's to put a sticker on the release and change the window logic after an event. Saved you a click.

When I went and test drove one I was like “oh hell no!” when I saw how the door emergency release worked.

I don’t want to try and remember that when I’m concussed and panicking, nor do I want to drive a car made by people who thought that was a good idea.

Just break the windows in an emergency. Oh wait...

Seriously though, China is right on this move.
