There is a big problem with the door handles on the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. These models have sleek-looking door handles that don’t have the motorized mechanism seen on the Model X and Model S. When the temperature reaches freezing points, the door handles on the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y get jammed. Owners of the new models have reported facing this problem. However, a third-party handle available on Amazon eliminates this problem.
The third-party stick-on handle adds a protrusion to the existing handles, which gives it the feel of a typical door handle. It enables the person to grab onto and pull the handle instead of having to press the lever to pull the door handle out.
The third-party handle is attached to the existing handle using adhesive tape. As a result, the third-party handle is not a permanent solution, but it might get you through the winter season. It can get very frustrating when you have to go to work in the morning and you can’t get into your car because the door handles are frozen and there is nothing to grab due to the design of the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y.
Tesla used the flush door handle design to make the shape of the car more aerodynamic and for aesthetic purposes. But they have seemed to forget about the winter season. The third-party handles are available in a variety of colors to match your Tesla.
The engineers at Tesla seem to be obsessed with making their cars seem futuristic and making some choices that aren’t very ergonomic, like the yoke steering wheel. The yoke steering wheel looks fancy and futuristic at first, but owners have reported that it hinders the handling of the car. Similarly, flush door handles seem fancy and futuristic at first, but they become jammed in the winter when the temperature reaches its freezing point.
