New UX models have friction.

The Mach E has a push button door: push the button first, pop the door. It works once "you've read the manual" Two problems:
1. As I approached the car at Avis it was dark, I couldn't see the button at all so couldn't get it, I had to ask someone to let me in.
2. When I picked up my son at the airport, he had no idea how to open the passenger door so I had to open it from the inside.

Ford may keep this, but it's going to be a painful road.

Photo of me in front of a Ford Mustage Mach E. It shows the "door handle" which is just an enameled metal flange that doesn't move. You open the door by pushing a button, which pops open the door.
