Seems unnatural, as then you have to walk around the door to get in. Versus opening the door with the same hand as the side and not having to then walk around the door to get in.

Another possible issue; pinching fingers during door opening.
At least gloves/mittens seems to be easily pinch once the handle protrude.
The small angle formed by the handle and the door is problematic...The handle and door recess edges seems pretty sharp so really doesn't help.
Will see at final reveal...

Hey I was just giving a work around to the left hand challenged I totally agree with you.
I'm just gonna enjoy not telling people how to open the door. I wonder how long it'll take before my wife yells at me...
I'm actually a big fan of these handles and can't wait to try them out in person. The handles on S and X are gimmicky, over engineered, and problematic ... these M3 handles retain a futuristic quality while keeping the usability and reliability of current door handles.
I borrowed a MS once that would pop its own doors open whenever the handles auto presented. NOT fun (and a huge safety issue!)

If you really have to push and then pull to open the door, then I say that is a really stupid design. It's a design for the sake of being "different" rather than functional.

Compared to this design where you had to push the button, and keep it pushed in while pulling to open the door, it seems to me like an improvement.
What makes me skeptical is that it seems so thin and frail at the end that you should be pulling.

As long as the heater is strong enough to prevent re-freezing of the water created (which would be far worse than the initial outside ice) if the temp keeps dropping, this would be very nice.
Right, I think it's a video taken at a car show, so likely locked doors. But, there's lots of other videos online, stuck in GT-R reviews.
Some GT-R owners have the same concerns.
To me that looks like you might need 2 hands to open the door, one to press the handle in and the other to pull the lever. Or you are forced to use a certain hand. For example if you are approaching the passenger door, carrying something in your right arm, you won't be able to open it with your left hand alone. These handles force you to use a certain hand in order to have your thumb toward the rear of the car. Another whiz-bang look-at-me tesla feature that actually reduces functionality.

MotorTrend has a good photo of opening the driver's door with the left hand. Yes, it will require the right hand to efficiently open the passenger side. Not a problem for me, as I'm the driver and I'm left handed
I agree the handles may not be obvious for the uninitiated, but maybe you don't want those folks jumping in anyway

Luckily for me I have a prehensile thumb, a wrist that rotates at least 180 degrees, and somewhat ambidextrous. I think I'll manage to be able to open this door with one hand.
