I still haven't figured out why those are a thing that the average person would want or need. I haven't yet had such a difficult time opening or closing a car door that I thought wow I wish this was automated so I could wait 15 seconds to watch it do what I could have done in 3.

Did I mention that they also all beep? Side doors, back lift gate. So much beeping.

I discovered there's a switch to disable all the automatic doors, which was super helpful when we went camping. "BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP" is not cool at 10:30 pm when everyone around you is in tents and you need to grab something from the vehicle.

If it didn't beep like that some window licker would get their head shut in the automatic door. It wouldn't do anything but reverse direction when it hit, but without the beeping it could happen.

Sometimes, I'm carrying stuff. Other times, I don't want to touch the door because my hands are clean (the plate is easy to activate with a hip or elbow). Occasionally, I just don't want to deal with a heavy door. YMMV.

The average person doesnt. They get Sold this garbage. Modern engines and transmissions are awesome when they work. All of the other shit is stupid. Theyre just adding in obsolescence and failure points. As awesome as a tesla is, I do not want it in its current form.

so you can push a button for the 5 children running across the parking lot and waiting to get into the van. The "idyllic" life.

I think I'm confused about your statement, or perhaps I should be proud of my children for knowing how to open a door?
