    The point is that the entire passenger entry system has been designed around electronic door handles. So you might think it’s as simple as just swapping them for mechanical ones but it’s not.

    The handles are really just buttons. Requests to a computer. The “locks” are just a binary state of the entry system that determines if conditions are satisfied to release the mechanical latch when the request is made.

        We’re not talking about door locks, but door latches and handles. There are no “locks” on Teslas. As I said “locked” is just a state in the computer.
