My Broken Tesla Model S Door Handle Situation: A Surprising Update!

[@dandaigle4546]

good outcome, but at what cost?

[@barryw9473]

Always take a video of problem so you have evidence to show shop.

[@bnort1040]

With Tesla’s insistence on (over)engineering everything, it’s hard to believe these door handles continue to be designed so poorly. Thx Dave for a peek inside the process!

[@Viqer_Fell]

Tesla and over-engineering are not words normally ever used together. That being said I am very jealous of the service Tesla provide in the US. In Europe and the UK it is a very different story.

[@bnort1040]

@@Viqer_Fell Not in the Greman sense, meant as complicating simple tasks. A bit of tongue in cheek

[@snkcorp.502]

wow, he know what to do. great guy.👍

[@gethecar]

It would be funny if Tesla Service showed up in a Charger lol

[@andrewcspiterie]

With this problem I had found and repaired broken wires in driver door rubber hinge grommet. This wires were at first causing intermittent connection.

[@StayConnectedEV]

Great work! Impressive.

[@darrenorange2982]

Tesla generally just replaces stuff if you say its acting up. They don't go nuts trying to challenge you on it they just take care of you.

[@AKA001]

Amazing what running a KZbin channel achieves with Tesla.

[@chrisbrzon3917]

The Tesla techs are generally great guys. Chris probably has a play with Tesla Semi repairs based on his background once they hit the roads in numbers.

[@beamerbread]

I’ve had 4 or 5 door handle replacements over the years 🤣😩

[@ALRinaldi]

Glad its all fixed! As someone hoping to get into a used Model S sometime in the future, I hope someone be it 3rd party or Tesla can create a more permanent fix for this door handle issue that keeps coming back up.

[@beamerbread]

Gruber Motors has a more permanent solution I believe

[@unordinaryman]

The Tesla Model S door handle needs design improvements - besides reliability issues, I think it's excessively noisy

[@scottbreseke716]

The keyfob works when you hold it next to coffee cup.

[@shahzadiqbal1976]

Amazing video. I totally agree with you about the intermittent problems.

[@youtuberpov]

So it is the gear the breaks through wear and tear. Tesla needs to redesign it to lessen the chance on breaking.

[@JTWIRE55]

Hopefully you gave him a nice tip

[@Yanquetino]

Weird. Doesn't sound like the intermittent problem was caused by anything Chris replaced. 🤔 Welp… more whiz-bang features and functions inevitably translate to more chances of problems. Hope the handle never balks again on you!

[@adamchoi8136]

That’s great they took care of the issue promptly. I wonder if it has anything to do with the cold and ice as well in our New England weather.

[@arercee5528]

Two of my door handles stop working once every 8 months. Sometimes it fixes itself after a few hours or at most a week. It's very frustrating because I want to fix it, but there it appears to be a software thing. Nothing I can do.

[@mkendallpk4321]

I don't think that Tesla engineers ever heard of the KISS principle. KISS means Keep It Simple, Stupid!

[@justanotherguy7798]

I think exposure to UTube fixed it.

[@cptobvious8428]

OMG My door handle has a booby! The sky is falling, the world will end. I’m going to make a whole video about how dumb I am. Technician has incredible patience listening to this goof ball just go on and on even after he clearly explained and fixed problem.

[@jurybonsenor5479]

The man ask questions, because we don’t know about it. You are one of the guys can not be ask a Que, then that job is not for you.
