Many people in my Tesla have janked the emergency handle, rather than clicking the button to get out without any emergency, there isn’t any Door handle, there is the emergency handle… Which kinda proves my point and your outrage comment proves you haven’t even been in a Tesla yet comment on “it’s bad design”.

That might be true for the front seat, but what about the back? I doubt you'd have 4 passengers all up front with you in the passenger seat.

I've never been in a Tesla, but according to the owner's manual the emergency release for the back seat is a cable behind a hidden panel, and not all models actually have that hidden panel.
