The whole video is a gold mine for "asshole design."

- No door handles, press a button and pull the metal railing to open the door

- No rear-view mirror, use the console to see what's behind you

- Your driving speed is no longer in front of the steering wheel, it's in the console

- Your glove box doesn't have a manual latch, dig into settings to open the glove box

- The gear shifter is in the console or above you

Seems like Elon went full contrarian when designing the car.

Certain Fiats in the 1980s had an arrangement where, rather than a door handle, you'd push a button and the door would pop open. It is... not a car feature I would necessarily have expected to reappear in 2023.

Half this stuff has been standard tesla design for a while and are typically liked by Tesla drivers -

- no door handles

- driving speed on center console

- glove box controlled by console

- gear shift not in-between driver/passenger

Contrarian I guess.... but not bad

Also "no rear view mirror" - it was clearly stated in the video that is only for the production test model and real production models will have rear and side view mirrors.

The rear view mirror was there, but the view was blocked by the tonneau cover.

Which does seem unfortunate to me.
