Something Important, Say No to Door handles.

[Garbone]

5 years on I have had push button doors. On our 21 MachE they can be lazy at times requiring 2 pushes, on our 22 they are flawless. I do not want the return of door handles no more than I want a fuel tank. I would prefer only a button.

On the winter testing video I note no door handles, on the summer test there they are.... I hope Ford ops for no handles even if they do away with the plunger....

Maybe I missed something and this has been discussed but one would think a simple button and pull tab as on the MachE would be cheaper and more efficient than a complex pull handle.

I personally hate any kind of electronic door handle. I don't want any system that is reliant on some electronic motor to open the door or to allow me to use the handle. I don't mind my EV6 flush mounted door handles because at least they're still fully mechanical - I'd hate them if they were like Tesla handles.

There's a reason China banned electronic door handles. It makes it very difficult for someone to open the door from the outside after a crash.

Not sure how a manual lever attached to a cable is more complicated than a button attached to a computer attached to a motor attached to a cable. It's not like Ford never figured out how to open a door.
