7 * 365 = Rev 2555

out of interest is the revised design quieter when it extends/retracts - always thought the handle operation sounded a bit noisy

Yes they are a bit quieter.

What is the price of these updated handles?

What is the price of these updated handles?

I don't have the exact figure but I'm told that each revision has been cheaper than the outgoing one. Sounds like this is no exception but I don't know the exact amount so hopefully someone comes along who does. It sounds like this may be the version we've all been waiting for as it's few moving parts/wires/sensors and inexpensive.

I paid 495 to have new ones installed by Tesla.

I dropped my car off at the service center this morning to have two door handles fixed/replaced(would present but not open) Got a call saying it would be $610 total for the two door handles to be replaced.

That's good to hear.

I just had mobile tech replace one handle with the Gen 3 version. The first one didn't fit right, the second one fits BUT BUT when the door handle goes in it doesn't sit flush like the original ones.

For those that had their's replaced with Gen 3 does it sit flush when closed? I have a different gap now (old front versus new rear)...and while I am a bit of perfectionist, just wondering if this is normal. I was told it was normal, that they didn't sit like the old ones, but I am a bit leery that is the way it is supposed to be. See attached of front (Picture 1- Original) and Picture 2 (Gen 3)

They should have adjusted it when they installed it. I had the same thing happened to me and mobile ranger came out and fixed it

Had mine replaced by mobile when mine wouldn't retract out. Covered under warranty and a Gen 3 was installed. At first it wasn't flush with the body and pointed out to me and wouldn't stop until he got it right. He was a perfectionist

the main connector has 6 pins.
the two middle pins are to/from the hall switch/sensor.
Can somebody please confirm that they are shorted/open when the handle is in/out (it's easy to push the handle with your fingers.)

I see no change on measured signals on mine... regardless of position.

When mine failed, the door would open if you pulled the handle in the first 5 seconds of being presented; if you opened another door first then the failing door was no-go. Had to lock and unlock to try again.

2015 M S. Yes, this similar routine was happening with my rear left Gen 3 handle. Then it just failed to unlatch completely.

Removed the 2021 Gen 3 door handle this morning and found this washer on the magnet sensor. Removed the washer and reinstalled the handle and fuse. But still the door actuator does not release. I will keep searching. Am look for possible relevant suggestions.

This morning removed the 2021 Gen 3 door handle and found this washer against the magnet sensor. It does not belong there. I removed it and reinstalled the handle and fuse. Again the handle presents but the actuator does not release to open the door. Any relevant suggestions are greatly appreciated.
