flag EU to mandate functional car door handles during power outages after fatal Tesla crash.

flag The European Union is developing new safety rules requiring electronic door handles to remain operable during power failures, following a fatal Tesla crash in Germany where occupants couldn’t escape a burning vehicle. flag The Netherlands Vehicle Authority confirmed the EU is prioritizing this issue with Euro NCAP and UNECE. flag Similar concerns have led China to consider banning flush handles by 2027 and the U.S. NHTSA to investigate Model Y door failures. flag Tesla is working on hybrid mechanical-electric systems, as current models require locating hidden emergency releases. flag While flush handles offer minimal aerodynamic benefits, safety risks are driving global regulatory action.
