Even though changing that mechanism is a big overhaul of rear seat, I still hope Tesla does that.
Again.. once again.. they fail... with random comfort feature.
They failed with cupholders and grab handles on S/X. Now they fail with rear seat folding on Model 3.
BMW had those handles at the same place like Model 3 has now, but they were lockable
with a mechanical key. Later, they moved the handles in the trunk. It's even more simpler and convenient.
Notice two keyholes.
Up until that time, we might consider trunk hidden compartment safe enough.
Even though it should be possible to open the trunk from inside, it's still unlikely anybody will do so much magic.
PS: due to rear seat release handles being in the trunk, I believe emergency trunk release is not mandatory any more.
I might check that on BMW later.
