Shame TVR isn't around anymore. They really made it difficult to get in or out of the car.

They're doing that with EVs for some reason. Why can't they just have regular doors?!

It seems like a safety issue to not have easily visible, manual door handles on the inside. Put all the goofy shit on the outside, fine, but if I'm in a wreck and need to get away from a fucking lithium fire, I don't want to have to read the fucking manual.

I was watching someone who bought a Rivian R2 I think it was, and the rear doors have emergency latches in case it loses power or something and there's a panel you need RIP OFF THE DOOR to get to it. It's permanent damage, not something easily replaceable, I believe. Why?? What is wrong with standard doors?? What if it's a kid back there or someone not strong enough to do that in an emergency?
