Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Power windows, Bluetooth audio systems, seat warmers.
These are all really positive tech advancements in my lifetime.
Touch screen interfaces, power door handles (without a manual override), firmware disables features or limitations that are determined by the DLC you purchase from your dealership...
These are fucking bullshit and almost no one I know likes them.
It is insane how anti-consumer cars have gotten.
I'm fairly certain that's illegal. In the US at least.
There have been stories that sound like it's a thing. But those have always been people not knowing where the mechanical release is located.
Points at Tesla
They appear not to be even though it's extremely irrational. I might clarify that I think a single mechanism should be the door release and Teslas specifically bury their manual overrides within the body of the door itself in an area that most users are unaware of.
The rear ones are, the front aren't.
Not that this excuses the rear ones, but the front ones are so natural and obvious that if you don't tell someone new to Tesla that it's the manual, they'll use it.
I have no idea why they didn't just do the rear ones like the front.
