There is reliable data out there that people have been burned alive in multiple incidents in Teslas because the car was on fire, and the door handles were recessed so people couldn't get them out.

e.g., https://www.autoblog.com/electric/report-at-least-15-fatalities-linked-to-tesla-doors-failing-to-open-in-fires

Sure they're pretty, but they're also a death trap.

The point isn't that they're electronic or mechanic, it's that real-life experiences have shown that flush door handles are death traps.

Yes the design is done in such a way that the handles should come out when the car is involved in an accident. The key word here is 'should'. When (not if) it doesn't, you die.

The link that I posted previously was the first result of a duck duck go search for 'Tesla door handles fire'. There are literally dozens of articles from different publications saying the same thing. You believing Tesla's lies that the door handles are safe doesn't make it so.
