    Yeah let’s see, if the handle would have to be a different shape, they may need a different cutout for the door, different handle moulds, different mechanical parts, updated electronics… does anyone have a fucking clue how difficult it is to program one of those robotic arms? How expensive new moulds are? Any other potential knock-on effects this may have on the internal design?

    People with the mentality of ‘it’s just a small plug at the bottom of the pool, how bad could it possibly be if we removed it’

      They only have to redesign a new door, not an entire car.

      Sure, it isn’t as easy adding a dent so you can grab the handle. But it is a lot easier and cheaper than designing a new door, which they do for every new model.
