Proposed regulations in China would mean the end of flush handles on car doors, with precious little time to roll out the changes.

    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 outside handles and not the 3 and Y mechanical ones? Yeah, that seems like a safety issue.

      As long as the model 3/y were mechanically operated, I’m not sure their push to pull mechanism is bad or a problem, but the model s/x have electronically presenting handles that need power to present themselves as they pop out horizontally, not with a hinge like 3/y, and you can’t really just make that mechanical like you can the model 3/y ones, and the CyberTruck doesn’t even have exterior handles.
