Something Important, Say No to Door handles.

I would prefer a system that doesn’t lock you out of your car when the 12 volt battery dies. Potentially trapping a dog or even a child in a locked car. I would prefer manual door handles.

I like and dislike both handles and handless entry so lets split the difference if its 4 door 2 of each and just to make the design interesting, the handles or lack of handles should be shared across the vehicle in other words front drivers door handled and front passenger door handleless the rear would the exact opposite! This way both camps are 1/2 way happy.. I jut want a very operable vehicle that can tow!

As long as I have access into the vehicle. I’m good.

Your description literally shows why it's more complicated. More connections, more moving parts, and pesky electrons to manage. Not everything needs to be reinvented and computerized.

I assumed that was sarcasm…

A good discussion. I've owned or driven almost every EV aka used all the door handles. Immediate family has had 12 different EVs since 2022. We currently have a 2025 ME and 2022 Lightning in our house.

I have thought the indent below the handle was the way to go.

I also had a Mach-E that suffered from the push button not always opening the door.
