How to use retractable door handles on electric vehicles

Flush door handles have different usage methods depending on the vehicle model and brand, and can be electronically or partially mechanically controlled.

The 2012 Tesla Model S is widely recognized as the first electric vehicle to popularize electronic door handles for the mass market, although the technology had existed on earlier race cars and luxury vehicles such as the Mercedes 300SL racing version and the Fiat 850 Spider in the 1970s. The Model S made these handles a standard feature, improving aerodynamics and extending driving range, leading many other auto manufacturers to adopt similar designs.

Retractable (or hidden) door handles can typically be extended or retracted, popping out when the key is nearby or a button is pressed. Even within Tesla's models, there are different ways to open the doors. Here's how to open the doors of a Model 3 and Model Y:
