The problem with having both is that the electronic one is always the primary one, and the one people will use daily.

Yeah that’s the design flaw. Thats literally what im saying they shouldn’t do. You can make a mechanical-first door with an internal solenoid thats capable of popping the door.

The main and only handles on the doors should be mechanical, with door popper buttons for all four doors on the driver-side arm rest (where window controls go)

What purpose do electric door handles serve? Other than being more prone to failure, more expensive, and dangerous?

This allows the driver to open doors for passengers, while also making the main way in and out NOT dependent on electronics.

Unnecessary luxury? Sure, but so are cars in a lot of the world. Its cheap to implement and not inherently a danger when done right.

Your issue isn’t electronically controlled door poppers. Its cars being made by silicone valley, y-combinator sucking, tech-bro douchebags.
