Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

My brother's Tesla has a manual latch you can pull, but it is not marked, and "concealed" by the door handle. I kept using it by accident which kinda pissed him off, because the door is designed to roll down the window about a half inch before opening to avoid damaging the window seal. Using the manual override skips this rolldown, and just bends the seal out of the way when you open the door.

Personally, I like the interior handles on the Mustang Mach E better. There is one latch to open the door, but it has two stages. First stage triggers the electric "door kicker" and the second stage physically pulls the latch open. So in an emergency, you just pull the same door handle harder to force it open.

Didn’t know that about the E’s doors. That sounds so much better and safer. Muscle memory is almost all you have when you have been knocked out on impact and have no idea what is happening after a wreck.

My Mazda MX-5 also rolls down the windows when opening the door, but its still a physical latch in the end so it's possible to design it this way (there's even a warning in the manual that the window could shatter if no battery is installed)

I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm just sharing my experience with how Tesla implemented it.

[–] 31ank@ani.social 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Didn't want to sound mean or anything, just wanted to add my experience 😅

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Nope. Horribly mean. Why oh why would you do this to sweet innocent me.

Yeah, we good. I didn't think you were being mean.

Lol it's his own fault for buying a car that needs to have the windows roll down before you can open the door
