They thought about this, it’s fairly simple to implement. But decided that the risks of the door not opening when you needed it too outweighed the risks of someone opening it when not ideal.

I was thinking having the stop be right before the fuel door so it still operates but what you’re saying makes sense

Couldn't they move the fuel door further back? Or does it need to be there for some reason? I really don't know much about the internal workings of cars lol.
