Those that have loved previous acts of automotive brilliance will love this! Electric locking doors with no obvious release, complete with electric door handles and no external manual key/lock, "full self driving" (lol Tesla, stay shit my friend) and burying everyday controls behind 7 menus, etc. Just one more dumb fucking solution to a problem absolutely nobody has.

Stay useless, friends.
