Yeah, I never understood in a market where people suffer from range anxiety and EV's weight 4000lbs, they have to put motors on everything; a motor to open the hood, a motor to open the trunk, a motor on every door handle. Been driving for 40+years and have had to shut my own trunk for all of them. What a nightmare!
Yes! Weight aside, it's just more shit to break and need expensive repairs.
And I'm sure some people really like motorized trunks and stuff - if it's in as a modular option, they can get it.
Win win.
...at the end of the day I guess I'm just a big fan of customizeability.
