If you are under warranty, that's OK, but out of warranty, each replacement costs >1000 CAD, while the defective switches cost 2-3$ each to replace, which is somewhat annoying.Tesla replaced it yesterday, now every handle works well

Does anyone know if door handles are covered under extended warranty?
I had the same door handle fail over the holidays - they replaced it (under warranty) even though it started working again.
when a solenoid goes bad...
Ok so the handle OTA fix is a fail. Apparently at Tesla they remotely see the three original handles, but the driver's handle is apparently unable to communicate. So I'm not getting around a complete replacement, which is a shame as this handle assembly is 14 months old and jeeeust out of warranty.Ok so that handle went bad again. I'm out of warranty so I followed RiverBrick's advice and went to Simon André Automobiles to get it repaired (also replaced both front upper ball joints as well)
This handle is a new generation and the tech hadn't seen one of those yet. Basically the microswitch is integrated and cannot really fail out of wear as no wires are exposed anymore. Only the paddle gear could fail, but according to the tech who showed it to me, the assembly quality is improved and the gear is metallic now.
So it seems as though the problem I have which would've been the microswitch if it were an older generation handle assembly could now be repaired OTA by simply resync'ing the door handle. At least that is what the tech will try to do with his contacts at Tesla. That would be way ahead of what I've seen so far when I contacted Tesla Service about exactly this possibility...
We'll see how this unfolds...
