As a new Tesla model Y owner I'm very happy with the car.

But I agree that this is madness!

I'm not too concerned with opening from the outside, but opening from the inside has to be a simple thing that works in all situations, even for first time passengers!

A good reason to care about accessing the car from the outside with and without power is if say you left your dog or child in it with 'dog mode' running and it stops for whatever reason.

It'd be nice if you or any passerby could easily open the door without any thought don't you think?

In that specific situation, yes.

But it would also make car breakins trivially easy, and I don't think people would accept that tradeoff.
