Recently, a Tesla owner had a strange problem: his door handles were frozen!What's going on here?

It turned out that the owner did not fully retract the door handle when parking, resulting in the door handle being frozen in a low temperature environment. The owner tried a variety of methods, including pouring hot water on it, hitting it with a hammer, etc., but it was unsuccessful. In the end, the owner had to seek the help of a professional to thaw the door handles.

This incident reminds us that when parking in a low temperature environment, we must pay attention to the door handle completely retracted to avoid similar problems. At the same time, if you encounter a similar problem, don't casually try to solve it on your own, so as not to cause greater losses.

So, what is the reason why Tesla's doorknob is frozen?It turns out that Tesla's door handle is designed with an electronic lock, and if the electronic lock can't sense the temperature change of the door, it will mistakenly think that the door is closed, so it can't work properly. In a low-temperature environment, if the door handle is not fully retracted, it will be exposed to the air, causing the electronic lock to not be able to sense the temperature change of the door, and eventually causing the door handle to freeze.

In addition, Tesla's door handles have an anti-pinch feature that automatically pops open if it senses an obstacle between the door and the door frame. However, if the door handle is not fully retracted, the anti-pinch function will fail, increasing the risk of freezing.

In short, there are various reasons why Tesla's door handles are frozen, but as long as we pay attention to the details when parking, we can effectively avoid similar problems. At the same time, if you encounter a similar problem, don't casually try to solve it on your own, so as not to cause greater losses.

In addition, Tesla is also actively developing new technologies to solve this problem. For example, they are working on a new electronic lock design that can work well in low temperature environments. At the same time, they are also stepping up publicity and training to make car owners more aware of how to properly use Tesla's door handles.

In conclusion, it is a relatively common problem for Tesla door handles to be frozen, but as long as we pay attention to the details and take the right measures, similar problems can be effectively avoided. At the same time, we should also strengthen our understanding and Xi of Tesla-related technologies in order to better use and maintain our own vehicles.
