Another Idea for Tesla Handicapped Access (NOTE Referral Code wes21573)

It is so obvious, yet this problem only surfaced when this old veteran finally got into a Tesla Model 3...and I tried to get out! If this article is useful when you consider buying a Tesla, please use my referral https://www.tesla.com/referral/wes21573 so we can each get a free Tesla 1000 mile SuperCharger credit.

Yes, even on a good day it is hard for me to make a transfer from my wheelchair to the Tesla driver or passenger front seat, and even harder to get out. The car's low suspension combines with the fairly narrow entrance to give me some degree of discomfort.
So what's a good solution? Well, other cars almost always have an assist handle on the inside top of the door frame. above each seat. Makes sense for anyone, especially handicapped, to be able to steady oneself with the handle while scooting the bottm and legs outside and onto the wheelchair.
The only two possibilities that come to my mind for why Tesla didn't but a handle here are (1) part of the design effort to minimize everything in the cabin and/or (2) perhaps there would be a conflict with an airbag behind the plastic.
I intend to check this out, because the hack would be immediately useful to me.

Google Maps – powerful wheelchair accessible routes feature!

Introducing Google's  “wheelchair accessible” routes in transit navigation

(First Published Mar 15, 2018)
Google Maps was built to help people navigate and explore the world, providing  directions, worldwide, to people traveling by car, bicycle or on foot. But in city centers, buses and trains are often the best way to get around, which presents a challenge for people who use wheelchairs or with other mobility needs. Information about which stations and routes are wheelchair friendly isn’t always readily available or easy to find.  And as other wheelchair drivers know, we need carved curbs and paved walkways to roll along. To make public transit work for everyone, developed “wheelchair accessible” routes in transit navigation to make getting around easier for those with mobility needs.

To access the “wheelchair accessible” routes, type your desired destination into Google Maps. Tap “Directions” then select the public transportation icon. Then tap “Options” and under the Routes section, you’ll find “wheelchair accessible” as a new route type. When you select this option, Google Maps will show you a list of possible routes that take mobility needs into consideration.  This feature started out in major metropolitan transit centers around the world –  London, New York, Tokyo, Mexico City, Boston, and Sydney. Google is working with additional transit agencies to bring more wheelchair accessible routes to Google Maps.

Access
In addition to making public transportation more accessible, people around the world have been helping us add accessibility information to Google Maps. In September, 2017 local guides from around the world gathered at 200 global meet-ups to answer accessibility questions—like whether a place has a step-free entrance or an accessible restroom—for more than 12 million places. Additionally, Google has been busy capturing and updating Street View imagery of transit stations and city centers so people can preview a place or transit station ahead of time.

Google's own wheelchair users built this feature to make life easier for people who use wheelchairs, but accessible routes are also helpful if you’re on crutches or pushing a walker. With the help of transit agencies around the globe and people like you who contribute local knowledge, Google is making progress toward a more accessible world for everyone. So, too, does my Tesla by not poisoning our world with airborne toxins!

Senior citizens & Tesla cars – a perfect fit

"Okay, Boomer!" If you're my age (73+) you might hear that now and then. It's more of a friendly tease than insult. Also, that's what I named my red Model 3. Let others use the boomer tease on me if they must...at least I can finally afford nice things like a Tesla!!
And my Tesla is a perfect fit as an automobile for a senior citizen like me. First and foremost, my Model is ideal for helping me pretend I'm still alive. But even more, my Tesla is designed to help keep me alive!
Tesla's safety features outnumber what is found on other cars' and include systems no other car offers. In my view, a Tesla is ideal for nearly everyone but particularly seniors and disabled drivers.
Here's what Tesla has to help keep me alive on my next drive along America's highways:

• A car rated "the safest car in the world"

• 8 cameras and 12 sensors to see dangers if I'm not looking

• A roof and door pillars so strong it can hold up three other Teslas

• Lane departure avoidance and Emergency lane departure avoidance  

• A team of cameras to help fight my peripheral vision loss

• Radar-governed traffic cruise control

• Autopilot to help me make better decisions, or make them for me! 

Please consider using my Tesla referral code to order your new car, and we both get a free thousand mile SuperCharger credit. If you order without a referral from me or another owner, you'll lose the credit (and so will I!)  Click and proceed to order (or see prices and features.)
