Flush door handles are completely orthogonal to whether a car is an EV; that just happened to be Tesla's design language.





I’ve yet to see an EV that doesn’t have some sort of flush handle design. My understanding is that it improves aerodynamics and I’m sure a secondary reason is “Tesla did it first” and the high tech aesthetic that EVs are expected to have.

Hyundai Kona and Kia Niro have normal doorhandles.
