What engineer worth a damn allows a single point of failure with this level of risk???

Not one that works at Tesla. It would be an obvious design error, and Tesla did not make that error. See post #51.

The interior mechanism is essentially a traditional-style door release pull with two stops. The first stop triggers an electronic door release, and opens the door. Open to full extension, and a mechanical door release operates, even if there's a loss of power — it isn't confusing to operate...

Tesla uses a nifty flush fitment for its exterior door handles on the Model S that pop out to welcome you as you walk up to the car with the key.

All the driver had to do was pull hard on the interior handle.
