my drive shaft has a mechanical connection to my wheels, all of my doors are mechanical except for my rear lift gate, and my car is post 2020. If my battery quits I can still unlock and exit my car using the same door handle. If my accelerator gets stuck I can manually turn the key and shut off the engine. this is not something you can do in an EV with a malfunctioning speed controller.
Teslas don't. They have individual motors for each wheel that takes orders from the computer
Okay? Only on the most poorly designed of cars would that not be the way things work...
Tesla door handles are not mechanical. If the battery erupts, you better know the emergency exit procedure in the seconds it takes for the fire to engulf the cockpit.
Are you sure about that?...
I've done it. Not while the accelerator was stuck, just to mess around and coast down a hill. The power steering goes out so I have to muscle the steering, but it works. My care is also not a push start, it has a physical key.
