As long as the model 3/y were mechanically operated, I’m not sure their push to pull mechanism is bad, but the model s/x have electronically presenting handles that need power to present themselves, which you can’t really just make mechanical like you can the model 3/y ones.

Inside or outside? Ik they have issue with inside door handles and safety but I don’t see a need to redesign outside handles?

Non-functional outside handles are just as bad as non-functional inside ones. Not always is the person on the inside able to open the door on their own.

So those would be the model S and X electric handles and not the 3 and Y mechanical ones? Yeah, that seems like a safety issue.

The read interior handles on the 3 and Y absolutely need to be redesigned tho
