The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Premium automakers, especially those deep in the EV space, have developed a notable affection for retractable door handles, famously found on all Tesla models.

This is not correct! Only one of Teslas models has retractable door handles.

The Tesla model S has retractable door handles.
The Tesla model 3 and model Y have "flip" door handles, they remain flush with the car while driving, but they are manually flipped with one side flipping in and the other flipping out such that you can grab the flipped out portion with your hand.
The Tesla model X and the Cybertruck have no door handles at all, the doors open electronically and are then grabbed by any door edge to pull out further when necessary.
