How to stop door handles from getting so hot?

[LesT]

How hot does it get in northern California this time of year? I'm in Canada but I swear it must have been in the 90s Fahrenheit here this summer and I never noticed hot door handles. And I'm pretty sensitive. Have to wait for dishes to cool before I take them out of the dishwasher...

Edit: sorry for my disbelief. I'm sure it's a real problem. But literally half the posts in Canadian forums are about frozen handles, frozen windows, frozen doors, frozen charge port, frozen wipers and how these cars are designed for California. It's just funny to hear about a California problem.

I’m in mid-michigan, early July and my handles get incredibly hot. Can’t touch them without burning fingers. I’m going to buy a wrap of some type.

I'm a new Model 3 owner. Love the car.
On a sunny day the door handles sure get hot!
If I apply some carbon fiber vinyl wrap on them will that help keep them from burning my hands?
Don't need carbon fiber, that just seems to be the popular / available door handle wrap.

What did you end up using? I’m dealing with this issue now and wonder which type of wrap will help

I used the CF wraps from RPM. Seems to work fine for me.

LOL, and now I've heard it all. The door handles get too hot and burn my fingers. Wow.
Have you thought about a tube of Vagisil to apply to them before you grab them ?
