Did you see the viral video that the lawyer made?

Looks like Tesla is justified in trying to neutralize that slimy attempt at publicity.

It's great when he is showing how the door handles take about 5 touches before they work. You can clearly see the rear lights flash as someone hits the unlock button right as it magically starts working.

Jesus.

As someone on youtube noted, take a close look at around 0:50. You can see lights flash, which seems very likely to have been from someone unlocking the car. Right after, the door handles miraculously start working again. The whole thing reeks.

Does anyone know how teslas behave when you touch their door handles? Do the rear lights ever flash?
