Tesla Model S Door Handle failures have been a common and aggravating issue for a long time now. Under warranty the answer is simple; call the service center, and schedule an appointment for replacement. However many cars are coming out of warranty and the replacement parts are becoming hard, if not impossible to come by. Tesla is no longer supporting the 1st and 2nd Gen door handles. This requires an expensive retrofit to the 3rd Gen handle in upwards of $1000.00 per handle. It also requires a special calibration that only the service center can perform.

EV Tuning has put together a comprehensive kit to help any DIY person to completely rebuild their door handle. The kit includes a stronger machined stainless steel gear, new e-clip for retaining the pivot gear on the shaft, Original Equipment Panasonic replacement micro-switches, push nuts to hold the vapor barrier securely, and new door panel clips.

Replacement parts:

The paddle gear is made from machined stainless steel instead of cast. This ensures it’s both stronger and more robust than the cast piece Tesla uses.
