I like throwing shit at Elon as much as most people, and correct me if I’m wrong but, Tesla cars were being produced before he started putting his dirty fingers on everything. AFAIK he was not involved in the design of the first cars, as he was only one of the investors at that time. He got much more involved when he became CEO and probably designed the cybertruck, but not the cars.
Musk is the one that has enforced keeping the electronic retracting door handles because he likes the sleek appearance. Multiple Tesla engineers have tried to get rid of them or design some kind of failsafe and Musk just ignores them.
Tesla was designing cars before Musk seized control. The Roadster was the first car they shipped. But here’s the thing: “The first Tesla Roadster was delivered in February 2008 to Tesla early investor, chairman and product architect Elon Musk.”
