Hong Kong is reportedly planning to prohibit electronic-only flush door handles, a design element that gained popularity through Tesla's vehicles. This decision aligns with similar actions taken by China.

The move reflects a broader trend of tightening regulations around vehicle design, particularly as concerns about safety and accessibility grow.

As markets become less accommodating to such features, manufacturers may need to adapt to the changing landscape or risk losing access to key markets.
