Interesting, programmable door handles, if you unlock the auto, they will stay out, but if you approach it while locked with the fob, they will pop out and if within 3 min you do not open a door, pull back in keeping the auto locked. -

I think that was “user error” of the person who was driving that particular vehicle. -

Yes they retract when you get in to drive or lock it, but when the auto sits unlocked, they stay out and I know how easy it is to possibly break them as I was going between auto's at my 24hr fitness this week and thought it weird that they were out and as I went between, the door handle hooked my work out short pocket and bent a bit before I unhooked myself. As I walked to enter the gym, a person came out and locked it, clearly forgetting they had left it unlocked. To me a hook type door handle is more dangerous than the circle loop door handle that pops out of my EV9. Now I do get the fact that some companies like Tesla have failed to make sure the door handles pop out for emergency release / escape. Cadillac is also guilty of this for both outside and inside door handles. Kia / Hyundai / Genesis did the following: Mechanical backup access: There is a hidden physical key slot behind the driver’s door handle area. Using the physical key lets you mechanically unlock the door even if the handle doesn’t pop out or during a power outage. All EVs have a manual interior door release that works without power so that people inside can always get out no matter the situation. This is all on my quick info card on the EV and I checked online with the Kia digital manuals. Hyundai and Genesis also say the same thing when searching online.
