I have seen a thread here on the forum on the lack of an interior coat hook, but my problem on my new Model S60 is a bit different. It is just difficult, and almost painful to get in and out of the car without any grab bar!
I am 6 feet at 185, my wife is 5'8" at 150 (neither of us is heavy), and we both find it difficult to get in and out because of the very low overhang of the front doors. Every other car we have owned for some years has a grab bar inside the front doors, and with more vertical clearance than the Tesla doors. I fully understand the aerodynamic nature of the car leading to doors with minimal vertical clearance, and the car is spacious once we get in.
But getting in and out is just tough, if not painful.
I have sent a message to Tesla and received a kind but non-committal reply.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Any aftermarket grab bars installed? Any other approaches to the problem of getting in and out of a sardine can?
I love my Tesla, once I get inside...
