    how the fuck are you going to put power into the thing if you don’t have a charged battery

    what the fuck is wrong with putting a door handle somewhere

      There’s a little panel you can use the uncut key blade to pop out and a power and ground wire in them that’s accessible outside the vehicle. Of course that requires you to have a jump box or another car and some leads. I don’t know who needs to hear this but stay real close to civilization if you drive one of these. Don’t get stranded in no man’s land.

        Yeah, not buying that kind of nonsense. I hate how defensively I have to think when buying a car. This and electronic ebrakes really bother me.
