How to Open Tesla's Hidden Door Handles?
2 Answers
When the car owner approaches the Tesla with the key within about 1 meter, the chrome-plated handle hidden inside the door will automatically pop out. Once the vehicle starts moving, the door handle will automatically retract. Here is some related information about Tesla: 1. Introduction to Tesla: Tesla is an American electric vehicle and clean energy company that manufactures and sells electric cars, solar panels, and energy storage systems. Headquartered in Palo Alto, Tesla was founded on July 1, 2003, by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. The founders named the company "Tesla Motors" in honor of the physicist Nikola Tesla. 2. Tesla's Development History: Tesla's initial new energy vehicle startup team mainly came from Silicon Valley, using IT concepts to build cars rather than following the traditional approach of Detroit-based automakers. As a result, Tesla's venture into electric vehicles is often seen as a story of a Silicon Valley upstart challenging Detroit's giants.
I've been driving a Tesla for several years, and the retractable door handles are actually quite simple to operate. You just stand next to the car door, locate the wider part of the handle—usually the end closer to the car body. Press firmly with your thumb or finger, and it will click open with a 'snap' sound, then you can pull it directly. This design mainly reduces wind resistance, making the car more energy-efficient when driving. Sometimes first-timers might feel a bit confused, but they’ll get the hang of it after a few tries. I also have a small tip: if it’s frozen or stuck in winter, don’t force it—try unlocking it with the mobile app first. Remembering the position is key; once you’re familiar, it becomes super convenient. This kind of innovation from Tesla makes the car look sleeker and more in line with modern aesthetics.
