Why does door handle stay out?
Have my F-type for a week now and not one complaint except when the car is unlocked the door handle stays out.
Whats the purpose of this, to me it just invites someone to open your door. I know you should lock your car but if you are somewhere where there is no need, it seems weird that this is a feature.
Thoughts?

Because pushing the handle back in (from outside the car) locks the car, whereas pushing the button brings the handle back out/unlocks (assuming you have keyless entry).
Ergo handle out = unlocked. Handle in = locked.
A very curious post/question, I must say!

I just sometimes don't want to lock it for whatever reason and thought it was a weird design.
Just saying!!

Sorry for any confusion, but the origin of the question had more to do with aesthetics then functionality, I think when the car is unlocked it looks silly with the handles sticking out. I do have keyless entry and I know that with key in hand pressing the door handle locks the car.

But obviously only once you've locked it so the handles retract!

Off on a slight tangent, solving the aesthetic of the Door Handles being out is way to easy to fix if it bothers one that much, either push on the Handle or push the Lock button on the Key Fob and your concern goes away.
What I have never been able to figure out however is how to keep the Side View Mirrors out and the Door Handle in AT THE SAME TIME!
If you want to photograph your car, you have to live with the Handles out or the mirrors folded in. One or the other... No way that I am aware of to flush the Door Handles without also retracting the Mirrors.
Third World problem I must say...

This is my number one most hated feature on the car. I will request they change or unplug the pins at my first service.

If you turn the vehicle on, roll a window down, and lock the doors once exiting the vehicle; you can then take the key out of the vehicle, place it on the cowl and roll the window up from outside the car using the auto roll up feature. This very complicated method, you can then properly take photos of your car with the mirrors out and the door locked.
