New Model Y owner scratches trunk on garage door Anyone else relate?
This story about a new Model Y owner accidentally scratching their trunk on their garage door within the first week of ownership has me thinking. How common is this issue, and are there design flaws contributing to it? The touchscreen trunk release seems convenient, but is it too easy to activate unintentionally? Should Tesla implement a confirmation prompt or a garage door sensor to prevent these mishaps? The suggested solutions like adjusting the trunk height limit seem like workarounds rather than fixes. Has anyone found a more elegant solution? This also raises the question of garage design in the age of EVs. Are our garages designed for the unique dimensions and features of these vehicles? Lets discuss preventative measures, garage modifications, and perhaps even Tesla design improvements that could address this growing concern. What are your thoughts?
