    The problem is that if it was fail open, any Tesla left standing around long enough for the battery to drain would unlock.

    The door needs to be mechanical. Everyone else is mechanical with a sensor to auto lower the window on frameless car door windows.

    Tesla did the cost analysis and decided the lawsuits from a few deaths were less than the profit to be made by not making safe doors.

      Ah! I kept wondering how the fuck opening the door can damage the window. The doors don’t have window frames. That has always been a shitty design.
