I have a 2020 Model S and the driver front door handle has been acting up the past few days. It was beeping and moving in/out erratically and then popping open the door automatically after closing.
Currently it is stuck out about half an inch and it doesn’t make any noises. I can pull the handle out manually but the door will not open so I have to climb in through the passenger side to get in.
I have been researching this problem and I’m contemplating trying to fix it myself and I have some questions…
1. How much does Tesla typically charge for the repair?
2. Is the problem typically something in the door handle assembly or the door handle control module?
3. Are the door handle assemblies the same for front and back? I’m seeing the same part numbers (1100299-00-A) but also “LF”, “LR”, “RF”, “RR” markings
4. Are the door handle control modules unique for each door? I’m seeing mostly part number 1069651-00-D.
I’m thinking to order the parts and have them on hand before opening up the door so I don’t have to open up and put back the door multiple times.
