On my car, the actuator that unlatches the door is electronic and apparently can get “stuck”, keeping the door from opening more than a crack.

Fortunately this most recent time I figured out how to fix it, by jamming a screwdriver in there and prying it open. But even then I had to disconnect the battery for a few minutes after to reset the door system. Why things gotta be so complicated? Why can’t the latch mechanism be cable driven like, ya know, every other car.

Also there’s nothing to grab hold of to shut or open the door from the inside. So I think a manual door conversion isn’t possible. But worth looking into for the future.

Ah, the Alex Mack technique.

Sometimes.

Sometimes they even shut by themselves.

I love having a minivan but there is just soooooooooo much shit that can break expensively. Doors especially.

My kids are bigger now. Maybe get a real passenger van…or an older minivan where the doors are manual and let out a satisfying KERCHUNK when they are opened/shut.

One of the tests from that video, the Tesla passed and I was honestly surprised it could. Can’t remember if it was heavy fog or bright oncoming lights.

Either way, yeah, LIDAR is far more capable and beat the Tesla in every test. Incredibly foolish to go camera-only but hey, that’s Elon.
