The TikTok clip features Seto Kiswoyo, who laughs as he films his date struggling to open the distinctive dihedral door of his McLaren. The moment, which he labels a “green flag,” has racked up over 3.2 million views and sparked some lively debates in the comments.
What Makes the McLaren Door Unique?
McLaren doors can be tricky because they don’t work like regular car doors. Typically, the process starts with a key fob to unlock the car. Drivers then look for a button or sensor, often near the top edge of the door. Pressing it pops the door open a bit, allowing for the upward swing.
Depending on the model—like the 570S or 720S—finding that spot can change. In the event of a dead key fob battery, there’s a hidden mechanical key in the fob for manual unlocking. This complexity explains why not knowing how to open a McLaren isn’t a big deal; most haven’t interacted with cars like these before.
Debate Around Dating Expectations
While Kiswoyo’s video was meant to be humorous, many viewers raised eyebrows at his definition of a “green flag.” Some questioned why not knowing how to open the door was seen positively.
For example, one commenter suggested that if she wasn’t opening the door, that might be a sign of traditional gender roles in play. Others noted he could have just helped her open it rather than filming her struggle. Conversations about expectations in modern dating arose, with jokes about what “red flags” would become of women who understand luxury cars.
