My Chevrolet truck while having an actual door latch, doesn’t open the doors if they’re locked. You have to pull twice.

Is that an electronic counter (likely) or mechanical? If the latter, no big deal, if the former it’s even worse than the Tesla - at least my MY has a separate mechanical over ride.

Pulling again is probably a pretty panic friendly procedure though.
older generation BMWs do this same thing; it's achieved by a ratchet system on the door handle that interacts with the mechanically actuated lock.

it isn't electronic in the case of BMW. I don't know what Chevrolet does.

I dont trust that it’s a pure mechanical system
