I really don’t understand it. How many MPGe could door handles subtract? 1? Is it even that much?
Is it aesthetics? I don’t think theirs look any better. And they feel flimsy AF. They give you nothing to hold onto when manipulating the door. Even if they didn’t freeze, I just don’t like them.
So we’re going to make this more complicated, more failure prone thing that looks and feels worse for no real benefit?
The worst part is that other EVs are adopting it.
