For handicapped drivers TRUNK help

[bebrents]

My wish list, Why doesnt Tesla offer a power trunk option or after market option for people who need it. Im handicapped and cant walk or stand without the aid of a crutch, cane or wheelchair. Loading or unloading the trunk I always have to pick a stranger to close the trunk for me. I drive the Model 3

There are after market solutions like this: Model 3 Power Trunk Opener Power Liftgate Version 5.0 Hands Free - $599

There are many YouTube videos about this if you want to look at how they operate once installed. You might find you have a few options for makers.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Elon offered to add a power trunk release to M3's for handicapped owners. Don't know if its only during manufacturing or after delivery though.

His issue is closing it though....

The one that I read about, Tesla was going to add it to an existing car. But be not discouraged, I believe I read that this will be added to all new Model 3s in the near future...

Here is a video on one kind that includes a button to close next to driver door and you can wave your foot under to open and close:

And I found this: Model 3 Power Liftgate (auto open/close)

Tweet, Elon. He'll put in an Tesla motorized trunk opener for free. He did it for another person.
