Too much fancy crap! We need cars, not rolling bordellos.

But in fairness, it would have been the same with regular handles and locked doors, so I don’t think it’s fair to blame Tesla for this – unless the airbags deployed and the doors should have unlocked. In that case I think they’re up the crick.
