Why do electric car company try to bite off so much? The saying goes "don't re-invent the wheel", but that should be extended to not re-inventing door handles, speedometers and the basic driving controls that have evolved over the last century. My car has a mechanical latch. No wires. No electricity. The lock has an electric actuator, but the mechanical linkages work just fine without power. Who out there was on the focus group wanting electric-only doors?
