It hit a tree at like 70-80mph - no car is going to have doors that work properly after the entire frame is deformed like that, it’s not about the handles




I was in a car wreck that hit a tree at 70mph in my mother’s Tahoe. I was able to open the door as a kid and just step out.

Gotta love the backseat drivers on HN who have no idea what they're talking about but still do it confidently.

Hardly a surprise that the Tesla engineers come from the same breed.


At 110miles car splits in half.
