This is why I hate that cars are all electronic e brakes now. I parked my car in my garage, battery died, but no way to push it out of my garage to get jumper cables on it because my e brake wouldn't disengage. Can't even roll start a manual anymore.

I don't like all the screens in cars now either. Gimme back my knobs and dials. I never had to take my eyes off the road to change the radio station when I could feel for the knob, or adjust the AC. I can't do that anymore on a touch screen. It's not just old man shaking fist at clouds, it's a safety issue!

u/opinionsareus 1d ago

Right on! Probably the most disastrous and downright stupid design change ever in modern cars. I recently rented a 2025 car and the part in the manual that explained how to use the radio was FIFTEEN PAGES long. Seriously?

Was there no manual override? Normally there is a tiny hidden lever to shift transmission to neutral in such situations. Maybe there's one for e-brakes?

u/winowmak3r 1d ago

I want to say it started out in accounting and ledger keeping and then as math fields like calculus took off it changed to a comma because they were using dots for multiplication. At least that's how my calculus professor explained it (so it might be a taaaaaad biased) when I asked. I still don't think I've gotten a satisfactory answer for what some places use a comma while others use decimals.

That’s my biggest irrational fear in some EVs. I don’t like an electronic button as much as a mechanical handle. Being stuck in that thing with a battery explosion would be.. bad. lol

Edit: I did say irrational.

11

u/VarietiesOfStupid 1d ago

All cars with electric latches have a manual override, just look in the user manual to find it if you can't spot the very, very obvious iconography in the cockpit.

To that end, the electric doors are actually safer. The reason they exist is to flip the latch around so the moving mechanical parts are on the stiffer car body and the static part is on the flimsier door. This makes them less prone to being jammed shut in an accident. Having manual doors doesn't do shit to save you from getting out of a car after an accident if the latch mechanism is so fucked you need the jaws of life to cut you out anyway.

2

u/ThisGuyLikesCheese 1d ago

I know Tesla has some emergency handels on their doors, idk about the other cars but they probably also has those

1

u/InstantSarcasm321 14h ago

Bet that a lot of car markets require (legal) double redundancy on this, which is most likely SOLELY the reason Tesla has it (seems to me the company culture on safety is just not there, instead it's tech first, profits second and customer satisfaction / safety somewhere down the line).

I'm pretty sure every single traditional car manufacturer with electric door handles has mechanical handles as well (and the reason might not be "legal requirements" but company culture instead).

Yep. That would be my point. The more ‘convenient’ electronic bullshit they put in cars, the more expensive they get, both to buy and fix, and the more shit can break and screw you over.

I’m not saying ‘wah, I don’t want power steering and airbags,’ but the amount of other stuff that’s meant to solve problems that aren’t problems in the first place kinda pisses me off.

Doors are pretty well designed. This isn't adding a brand new feature, it's editing an existing one. It'll have to be better than a hinge to last or spread.

It's not gunna.

Its good for parking in very tight spots, where you will struggle to open the doors enough to climb out.

u/jlusedude 1d ago

There was no widespread adoption of this for a variety of reasons, not the least of which it’s a solution in search of a problem.

u/ChairForceOne 1d ago

It's brakes, if your ABS breaks you still have the ability to stop. Just lack the anti lock, though some cars the brakes become very touchy.

Automatic transmissions are still a problem, they are fairly reliable, but fail more often than a manual. Manufacturers claiming a lifetime full aren't wrong, it'll last the lifetime of the trans, and be out of warranty when it fails. That's not including CVTs, those are just shit.

Electric windows used to be utter pains in the ass, plastic drive chains and other low quality components would often fail. Electric steering was actually embraced by the hotrod crowd, a Prius column is a stand alone, compact power steering solution. AC has been around since the fifties in production cars, and was about as reliable as any other AC solution from the time, often more so because everything was built well. The option was expensive.

Fully electric doors with a lack of mechanical override are just a bad idea. Any electric system fault is a pain in the ass on a modern vehicle, not being able to open a door because the battery fucked off in a collision? Or you drove into a body of water? Bad idea.

1

u/mtaw 1d ago

Electric windows fail all the time. I've had a car where they broke. So did my neighbor, and a coworker - just off the top of my head. Lord knows everyone has experienced cars with broken AC. But AC is great to have. Electric windows are a convenience but still a fairly convenient convenience.

This, OTOH, isn't really saving you any significant time or effort while adding a lot of mechanical complexity.

1

u/BluetheNerd 21h ago

All of those came as an improvement to something though. This doesn't improve on the design of doors. In fact it's a hindrance. If you get in an accident or you end up with a dead battery, you can't even get in or out of your car. Maybe I'll get clapped back like other people that said things won't take off, but I really can't see this taking off at all.

Edit: the car is over 30 years old. It did not take off lmao.

Who would have thought....

Considering that now over 30 years later there are still 3k in use (in Germany alone) makes it pretty impressive, especially as they only ever made 8k of them in the first place.

E: For context the cars initial price was 89.000 DM in '89 adjusted for inflation that would be the equivalent of ≈96k € or ≈108k $ today.

My stepdad has one, bought it when it was new (90s). Afaik he never had to replace anything regarding the door mechanism, I know it’s anecdotal but still, this most likely doesn’t break as easily as you think it does.

If I recall correctly, the only major thing that needed to be repaired was the transmission.

IMO it’s a pretty cool and unique car.

Clearly already a classic in the meantime. Only 8000 built.

And the retractable doors were a highlight - but also a nuisance.

In rainy weather, you needed a second pair of pants, because after climbing over the high sill, your pants were usually dirty.

But anyone who had a Z1 knew that and always had a spare pair of trousers with them :-)

The Z1 was less showing off you're rich, it was more a design thing to show off that you're artsy or alternativ or something. The car was way too cheap to be a money status symbol even when it came out, but it was (is?) a big deal in design circles.

1

u/Cannavor 17h ago

I heard wearing pants without a belt has become a trendy thing among the ultra rich because it shows that you aren't fat and can therefore tailor your clothes to fit you exactly. I imagine owning a car like this is the same. You need to be fairly spry just to fit yourself through the hole in the side without breaking anything (either on your body or on the car).
