China is taking a significant step in the automotive industry by preparing to ban flush door handles. This decision reignites safety debates.

Tragic accidents in Germany have brought the safety risks of these handles to the forefront. In a Tesla-related accident, it was claimed that the door handles hindered rescue efforts.

Chinese authorities plan to implement a new standard that bans these handles by 2027. This will directly affect Tesla and other brands.

Experts indicate that the aerodynamic benefits of flush door handles are offset by the safety risks and costs they incur. This debate questions the balance between aesthetics and safety in automotive design.
