    The pop-put door handles thing gets me. Like why do I need to push one end of the handle in, then pull it the rest of the way out on the opposite end? It’s so backwards and convoluted.

    Just give me a damn handle I pull out to open the damn door. Why is it so hard?

        That’s true, but also dumb at the same time.

        The benefit of reduced drag applies regardless of mode of propulsion.

        So really, it’s complexity for complexity sake.

          not really, because gas engines are so inefficient outside of their ideal RPM range that a little extra drag is barely noticeable.

            Hence why they have transmissions that ensure they’re in a favourable RPM range at all times.

      I bet they add all that dumb shit so it breaks and you have to buy a new car after all the bells and whistles are busted and you cant open your doors or trunk, since the motor is so much more reliable and needs less maintenance.
