Comment on China Is Banning Tesla-Style Retractable Door Handles Over Safety Concerns

That doesn’t follow. The 3 and y both have mechanical handles that only close flush by a spring for aerodynamics. Literally every manufacturer has copied that in at least one model.

Only the s, x, and CT have retractable handles, and it’s mostly Chinese cars that copy that.

  You’re both right: this is where we need more precise language
  
  Model 3 and Y, most Teslas, have mechanical handles. However all Teslas have an electronic latch mechanism

    The handles are not mechanically connected to anything. They’re just a really weird button that you can use to pull the door open.

Isn’t the CT a button with an electronic door popper? Where did I read that?
