= Tesla Model S door handles = Until about 2017, the Model S door handles suffered two problems. These were:

  • Water ingress damaged multiple parts. These were:
    • Circuit board with the controller.
    • Some wires which protrude at connectors got corrosion directly at the exit with green from copper-like color.
    • The axis of the gear at the gear box, which stuck in the plastic housing was corroded.
    • Missing grease around the gear, probably because soapy water drained all away.
    • Broken wires at a moving switch which was mounted at the arm.
    • Non working LED illumination module was probably hammered in by Tesla, which caused cracks in the plastic with water ingress and corrosion as a consequence.
