I'm so concerned about this issue. I'm well out of warranty on my P85 but so far, I have not had this issue. The one question that has not been addressed is what happens if you get QC Charge to install the Dextron VI Oil Tank and the oil pump to provide a long term solution (but later the oil...

It is frustrating that Tesla charges for a door handle repair given the obvious design defects. I've had all of my door handles replaced multiple times including 3 iterations of the door handles. Most ICE car door handles are reliable vs Tesla's door handles that will not complete the basic...

Quick update, met with Hames and he furnished and installed the 2016-2020 headlights on my 2012 Tesla Model S. Everything works and Hames indicated to me that these headlights will be more reliable than some of the other alternatives that uses an emulator. As explained to me, he obtains the...

All, finally have my appointment (today) with Hames to install my headlights from my OEM facelift 2012 Model S to the 2016-2020 refreshed headlights. In theory, my 2012 will have the look of the 2020 body and headlights. I will keep you posted. Work being done in Los Angeles area. As he...

I just spoke with Hames and he is going to do my lights. I live in Los Angeles so I might be able to give my review on them soon after the install. Based on my conversation with Hames, this sounds exactly what I am looking for.

Would love the source for this.

For those of you who contacted me to express an interest in joining the lawsuit, I hate to say, but also glad to say, Tesla basically took care of me with minimal grief after raising an initial stink. This is the second time I've considered a lawsuit regarding the issue of unreliable door...

Agreed

Thank you for sharing. I don't know why they don't either get this right or completely change the design. Yes, the door handles are cool, but simplicity and reliability are cooler. No one needs this headache especially on an expensive car.

Well, I hate to say, but also glad to say, Tesla basically took care of me with minimal grief after raising an initial stink. This is the second time I've considered a lawsuit regarding the issue of unreliable door handles. They know they have issues and they are trained to respond accordingly...

This is interesting. Thank you for the video and post. Keep me posted regarding the unreliable door handles. I'm working on a list to get Tesla to assist customers better than they have as the unreliable door handle problem seems to be widespread.

Sorry to hear about all the problems with unreliable door handles on the Model S. I'm collecting data on the unreliable door handle issue so please feel free to provide me with any information you can. I'm working to remove the burden of the unreliable door handle issue from the customer and...

Rene, sorry to hear about your door handle problem. In my view, you should not have to pay for this. I've had all of my door handles replaced, some multiple times. It should not work like this. All the best and let me know if you experience any more door handle issues as I'm putting together...

Glad to hear that you were able to fix the problem yourself albeit might be temporary. I have an early Model S and had to replace all of my door handles, often multiple times. I currently have one not working. I'm afraid this problem will continue for you and other Model S owners. Keep me...

In my view you shouldn't have to pay at all. Please keep me posted as I am in the process of filing a lawsuit regarding the unreliable door handle problem. I will be posting more on this widespread problem assuming Tesla continues giving me grief. All of my door handles have been replaced...
