Tesla Roadster No Door Handles

Two door handle problems this year on 2013 p85.

Tesla roadster no door handles.

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. In it he tries out tesla s latest approach to door handles and looks to the squared off formula 1 style. Ebay has them but for around 50 which is quite the mark up. An all electric vehicle the tesla roadster is the quickest car in the world with record setting acceleration range and performance.

First one the door handle presented and the window dropped when i pulled on it but the door would not open. Because i have driven more than 80 000 miles in two years the warranty is expired on door handles. 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. Any alternatives buying new motor.

Has anyone had a repaired door handle fail again. If i could get your help in ordering 4 or more of these i would be in your debt. Tesla s cost to repair is 900. I hope tesla chooses a simpler more robust design for the model 3.

The replacement cost people are quoting is ridiculous. Yup the door handles look cool but i d much rather have something simpler like the aston martin vanquish door handles. The new tesla roadster has some unique door handles and by unique we mean that it doesn t have any. 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.

Tesla replaced the whole handle mechanism. The next generation tesla roadster will not have door handles tesla autonomy day was all about autonomous driving but the event was made more attractive by the presentation of the tesla roadster 2. 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. Turned out it was a broken wire in a wiring harness.

My car was bought in december 2014.
