It's supposed to engage Park if the driver's door is open and weight is removed from the driver's seat.
Almost. It's supposed to engage park if it's stopped and the driver's door is opened.
I'm not sure I'd buy a car without a single mechanical interior door handle. Sure, there might be a mechanical backup to the electronic door handle. But will I remember to use it in an emergency?
When you put pressure on the button the door opens electronically. Putting a lot of pressure -- as when panicking -- should result in the mechanical lever unlatching the door.

Even with the door shut it’ll put itself into park if I lift my butt off the seat while in neutral in a car wash.

Whatever you do - if you don't already have one, buy a combined window breaker/seatbelt cutter for all of your cars and Velcro it to the side of your chair/bottom of side of center console/wherever you think would be best to have it. Seriously.
I’m pretty sure this is the first article on the first report of a Tesla issue where an attorney is giving statements that I recall seeing.
Not to diminish the seriousness of the issue but certainly seems likely they’re going to go for all they can against Tesla. I just wonder what the other side of the story will be.
Note, not a Tesla owner, mixed on fandom, but I do have Tesla Solar on my roof.
Better to wait for the official investigation. For whatever reason, speculation is pretty rampant whenever it comes to Tesla accidents.
Maybe he had trouble getting out because he was occupied calling his attorney.

Interesting. My 2014 S doesn't do that. Will test it in the 3 I should be getting soon.

- The butterfly steering wheel. - The removal of radar for Autopilot (I'd like to have multiple systems for this, not just cameras/vision). - The removal of steering column stalks (and using the sensors to figure out which direction you want to go). - The door open mechanism changing from handles to whatever this button situation is.
I'm sure there will be other stuff, but yeah, may have to cancel my reservation for the Cybertruck.
