How long do electric car door handles last?
I have a friend who has a Tesla and I would love to purchase one too but the door handles aren’t that great. She’s had a bunch of issues, especially in the cold months. How long does an electric car door handle typically last?

We hear your concern, and we understand. Some EVs like Tesla have special door handles, however not all do. While Tesla may be fixing some of its door handles in the future, always do some research in customer reviews to ensure you get the best vehicle for you.
