Tesla door handle problem.
The fancy door handles on the tesla model s have been known to fail and so these videos explain how they work and how to fix them if they stop working.
On a mission to please his wife car guru shows you how to fix those faulty tesla door handles.
One of the tools tesla uses to align the door handles with the bodywork.
The fact is that tesla went ahead and added mechanical motors to something that does not need it and if replacement was necessary an innocent unassuming ice buyer would have to pay 1 300 per door handle else the door handle s utility becomes useless leaving the owner with no other option to get in their car other than from the inside.
The higher end models have nice metal handles with chrome finishes.
By way of a short background tesla are now on version 3 of the door handle and while each version is presumably better than the last the option of a diy retrofit of the v3 door handle requires a recoding of the car to work.
