US Congress introduces ‘SAFE Exit Act’ targeting Tesla door handles after claiming 15 deaths

Congress takes aim at Tesla's flush door handles—safety or theater?

The SAFE Exit Act specifically targets flush electronic door handles after claims of 15 deaths, with Tesla as the obvious target. The bill frames emergency egress as a design flaw, not user error. Whether this becomes regulation or gets buried in committee says everything about how Washington handles EV safety theater.

Tesla's flush handles were always a solution looking for a problem—turns out Congress agrees, but 15 deaths and a bill probably means the handles stay longer than anyone expects.
