The circled switch is mounted to the chassis of the assembly, so the wires on it do not flex per event.

The other two switches pointed to by the Hang Ten are the ones mounted on the moving handle, so they flex per event. These are the ones that typically fray or break off near the switch.

Agreed but never hurts to make sure, as they are VERY thin wires technically not sealed inside of anything.
 
These are sealed splash tight switches, rubber boots on the wiring terminals, and switch plunger emphasize this point. I read the spec sheets, and the maker of these switches cite examples for applications exactly matching where Tesla has fitted them. Tesla picked the right part. They just mounted two of them stupidly on moving arms.
