Door handles aren’t in the budget. Might have to layoff teachers for those.

The DOEs budget is like $40billion. NYPDs around $5billion. So yea, they probably should.

There's a return on investment for a population that has higher levels of education and it also, in theory, should reduce crime. So it makes sense that the budget for education is larger than the NYPD. That's not to say that the education budget isn't bloated, but I'd prefer a larger proportion of my tax dollars being used to educate the populace rather than police it.

Not doubting that. But consider the fact that DOE funding is at an all time high with more than a 10% drop in enrollment. Academic performance citywide is also something that should be examined. DOE is full of its own issues.

100% agree there. They certainly need to be held accountable. And no doubt there's so much waste due to bureaucracy.

Not saying the DOE is good with its money for a second (though nor is the NYPD) but if we end up in a world where we spend more on police than on schools we’ll be in a deeply depressing place.

There's a tiny button on the side of each door, you push it and the door pops open a tiny bit, and then you just pull it open the rest of the way.

They didn't change the design to be easier to use. They changed it to improve aerodynamic drag (less drag = less power needed = more battery range).

Always kind of makes me laugh when car manufacturers make trade offs like this. I know the Mustang is supposed to be fast but it’s not a fucking formula one car.

Can you open the doors with the fob or do you have to press the little button every time?
