    Cars are designed up to 5 years in advance. Usually the last 2 years before production is dedicated to endurance testing.

      They don’t have to redesign an entire car, just the internal parts of a door that are related to a handle, that in the past they made work mechanically btw, so no, 2 years is more than enough to redesign and start implementing it

      They’re not being expected to design a whole new car from scratch though, are they.
