"The new latch combines the electronic and mechanical releases together into a single progressive lever. A short pull is said to actuate the electronic release, but if the operator pulls the handle a bit further, it releases the door."
"The video shows a door pull that opens upward, rather than the kind of button Tesla has historically used to pop doors. This change is significant for usability in emergency situations."
Tesla is updating its door handle technology in response to regulatory scrutiny over electronic releases. The new design, showcased in the Cybercab, features a combined electronic and mechanical release mechanism. This allows users to pull a lever for both electronic and manual door opening. The change aims to enhance usability, especially in emergencies where power may be unavailable. The updated design reflects Tesla's commitment to improving safety and functionality in its vehicles.
