Most bad looking cars start to look more normal over time. These just look worse.

This applies to virtually any career path I think. You learn a lot stepping outside your comfort zone. Actually that truth applies to just about all facets of life come to think of it...

I feel liberated, don't you? I was being weighed down by all of that financial stability and retirement wealth but now I can rest easy knowing that burden is being lifted. Thanks Trump!

I dunno. If you ever played Shadowrun the tabletop RPG back in the day, you'd absolutely see how they can be seamlessly merged together. Remembering Clarke said "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" helps too. Not everyone's cup of tea of course.

Although, as a metaphor (with Elon being represented by the Tesla imagery) I think it works pretty well, lol.

Yep, and in fact every vehicle with electronic door latches - which include many vehicles from traditional manufacturers - have exactly this mechanism for exactly the same reason.

But the door-jam issue is also why you should carry an automotive window breaking tool, just in case.

"have to" is pretty strong. Did you have a conversation with them? Maybe they are ok with you being pants-less? It sounds like you are making assumptions about their pants habits and expectations. Open and honest communication is the key to a good pants-relationship.

It looks like according to this some of those changes happened mid last year.
