Service did email me this morning and offered to send up a ranger next week. Was told scope of fix would depend on what they found i.e. repair vs replace.

Early gen 1 handles had this problem, they trigger their own "pull handle" switch when presenting, if the handle gets out of calibration (really narrow tolerances). These handles are wired differently but still use micro switches.. I don't think it's a broken wire. It's calibration. If this is in warranty press for newer gen handle replacement. Even if out of warranty, doors popping themselves open is a safety item so you've got a strong case for getting a goodwill fix on that door... possibly, all around the car.
Here's the description on the invoice:
found the paddle gear broken at the pivot point, the micro switch loose connection.
performed a rebuild as needed.
Data point: I am well out of warranty at 123k miles and I live over 400 miles from the service center. The ranger came solely for my fix as there weren't any local cars needing attention. They did not charge me for the ranger miles, service time or parts--entire job was goodwill. Love this company.
Rear door handle extraction ...
My driver side front door is beginning to show this issue. Where can I buy the micro switch in the US? Does Tesla Service center sell these parts?
Thanks for your replies. I will get to that. This is th second time I have to deal with the door not presenting. The first time it was covered, This time they asked $800.00 for the fix!!! ( one door)
