I think there is one significant factor we are missing in this thread... Whether the force is a shearing force or not.
Take a random 4lb object, bottle of apple juice...
Place your hand on the table and the bottle gently on top. It doesn't hurt.
Now place your finger to extend over the edge of the sharp edged table and place the bottle on your finger precisely on the overhang. I expect a significantly different experience due to the shearing force.
What does that mean for a model S? If the handle is closing and like me you react by pulling then you are fine, it is like pulling a microwave door. If you just let the door close on you then you will get a shearing force and you will feel it more.
How much? That will depend on factors like the width of your finger, size of bone, etc...
In our family my wife screams when she gets caught, but I naturally pull back so never have an issue, even on the same handle. Even if I just let is close on my I might be fine due to different finger size.
These aren't the only factors, but I expect they are significant.
