Tesla Plans to Redesign Door Handles That Could Trap Passengers in Cars

Table of Contents Tesla Plans to Redesign Door Handles That Could Trap Passengers in Cars Tesla's design chief says the company is planning to redesign interior door handles on its vehicles to combine powered and manual releases. However, the designer, Franz von Holzhausen, stopped short of addressing a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation into complaints that outside handles on some Tesla vehicles lose power and can trap occupants, particularly children, inside. Holzha

Tesla is redesigning its door handles following safety probe, Bloomberg investigation

Tesla is “working on” redesigning its door handles so they are less likely to trap people inside the company’s cars, chief designer Franz von Holzhausen told Bloomberg News on Wednesday. The news comes just one day after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened an probe into Tesla’s door handles, and one week after a Bloomberg News investigation highlighted multiple instances where owners or passengers were stuck in their cars following a crash. Von Holzhausen didn’t s

Tesla Model Y door handles now under federal safety scrutiny

When Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency began wielding its axe at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration earlier this year, many believed this was done to weaken the agency's oversight over Tesla. But despite the Tesla CEO's sometimes-close relationship with the Trump administration, it appears there is still some independence left within NHTSA: earlier this week the agency opened a new safety investigation into the door handles of the Tesla Model Y. The timing may not

Tesla Faces US Auto Safety Investigation over Door Handles

US auto safety regulators opened an investigation into whether some Tesla Inc. vehicle doors are defective, citing incidents in which exterior handles stopped working and trapped children inside. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Tuesday it’s opening a preliminary evaluation of Tesla’s electrically powered door handles becoming inoperative due to issues with certain vehicles’ low-voltage batteries. While the probe specifically focuses on an estimated 174,290 Model Y SUVs,

OCSP Service Has Reached End of Life

Today we turned off our Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) service, as announced in December of last year. We stopped including OCSP URLs in our certificates more than 90 days ago, so all Let’s Encrypt certificates that contained OCSP URLs have now expired. Going forward, we will publish revocation information exclusively via Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs). We ended support for OCSP primarily because it represents a considerable risk to privacy on the Internet. When someone visits a

BougeRV Electric Foldable Wagon Review: Haul Smarter, Not Harder

Table of Contents BougeRV Electric Foldable Wagon Review: Haul Smarter, Not Harder I've used my fair share of hand trucks, dollies and carts over the years. But it wasn't until recently that I got to try out an electric, foldable wagon from BougeRV. Given how much time I spend covering micromobility, this $400 wagon didn't feel too far off my usual territory. What's the difference between the BougeRV and a regular wagon? Simply put, it has a battery-powered motor to do the heavy lifting for yo

Basic dependency injection in OCaml with objects

In his article Why I chose OCaml as my primary language, my friend Xavier Van de Woestyne presents, in the section Dependency injection and inversion, two approaches to implementing dependency injection: one using user-defined effects and one using modules as first-class values. Even though I’m quite convinced that both approaches are legit, I find them sometimes a bit overkill and showing fairly obvious pitfalls when applied to real software. The goal of this article is therefore to briefly hig

Partially Matching Zig Enums

Partially Matching Zig Enums A short post about a neat little Zig idiom. Consider your average {sum type, variant, tagged union, enum, alt}: enum U { A ( i32 ), B ( i32 ), C, } Usually, you handle it like this: match u { U:: A (_) => handle_a (), U:: B (_) => handle_b (), U::C => handle_c (), } But once in a while, there’s common handling code you want to run for several variants. The most straightforward way is to duplicate: match u { U:: A (_) => { handle_ab (); handle_a (); } U:: B (_)

New Lenovo UEFI firmware updates fix Secure Boot bypass flaws

Lenovo is warning of high-severity BIOS flaws that could let attackers bypass Secure Boot on all-in-one desktops using customized Insyde UEFI firmware. Devices confirmed to be impacted are IdeaCentre AIO 3 24ARR9 and 27ARR9, and the Yoga AIO 27IAH10, 32ILL10, and 32IRH8. UEFI is the modern replacement for the traditional PC BIOS, acting as a firmware interface between the computer's hardware and the OS, controlling early initialization and booting. The flaws, discovered by Binarly, mirror tho

Do You Need a Barbecue Knife?

A while back at my favorite kitchen-gear trade show, I spotted what appeared to be a trending category: barbecue knives. Their distinguishing characteristics seem to be a fairly tall blade, a shape that encourages a wokka-wokka–style rocking motion, and a target audience that skews heavily toward dudes with beards. Not all of those traits scream “great for grilling,” but I was intrigued. One question immediately stuck in my head: What, if anything, makes a knife grill-friendly? Those I'd come a

Must-Have Summer Essentials for Parents, as Recommended by the Mom of a 2-Year-Old

If you’re an active parent who easily gets cabin fever, a jogging stroller is a great way to get out of the house with your toddler. The Guava Roam Stroller is a jogging stroller on the smaller side, and according to the website, it’s 50% smaller than other jogging strollers. It folds up easily, so it works if you have limited space in your home. I’ve been using this stroller for part of the summer and love how it’s made it easier for me to go out for a run while also bringing my toddler along w
