Tesla Roadster No Door Handles

Tesla roadster no door handles.

To make the car look even more seamless and futuristic it s similar to the model 3 s design where the user presses on the window to make the door open. The roadster s futuristic handles make it seem even more like tesla is looking to stuff the vehicle with as many innovative ideas as possible with musk even announcing 10 optional rocket. The replacement cost people are quoting is ridiculous. Have had two door handles different doors replaced and now looking at my third.

I hope tesla chooses a simpler more robust design for the model 3. If i could get your help in ordering 4 or more of these i would be in your debt. Tesla replaced the whole handle mechanism. Turned out it was a broken wire in a wiring harness.

Two door handle problems this year on 2013 p85. My car was bought in december 2014. Because i have driven more than 80 000 miles in two years the warranty is expired on door handles. First one the door handle presented and the window dropped when i pulled on it but the door would not open.

Second time the handle got stuck in the out position and did nothing. Yup the door handles look cool but i d much rather have something simpler like the aston martin vanquish door handles. Tesla s cost to repair is 900. Any alternatives buying new motor.

An all electric vehicle the tesla roadster is the quickest car in the world with record setting acceleration range and performance. Tesla s next generation roadster uses a fingerprint swipe in lieu of a handle to open its doors as demonstrated in a video captured by an attendee of tesla s autonomy day event. Has anyone had a repaired door handle fail again. The third handle just broke and i m in need of the paddle gear 1042845 00 b from what i can tell tesla sells them for 1 or so but they won t sell anything to those of us with rebuilt titles.

Ebay has them but for around 50 which is quite the mark up.
