Model 3 rear handles overly recessed?

[MtlDan]

I’ve had my dream car for a week now (SR+) and I noticed on the first day that the rear handles were quite a bit more recessed than the front. Notified my delivery specialist but no word back yet. Is this ajustable/fixable? Thanks

Mine are like this as well - hopefully doesn't impact range.

Probably the little plastic stopper fell out

PSA when washing door handles

Mine was recessed from delivery. I had two mobile service visits. The first one took the door panel off to see if they had added spacers from behind as they do from the factory. It didn't have any, so I scheduled a second one. They replaced the door handle and now its perfect.

mine was fixed post delivery as well.

Thanks for this info! I had a first mobile visit, he took the panel off and adjusted the angle so it is less noticeable towards the large side but it’s still recessed. Said the spec was up to 4 mm (5/32) from flush and that a new door handle would change nothing. Will follow-up. If anyone has a picture or part number of the handle with spacers that would be great, cheers.

(p.s. I checked and all handles have the bumper stop - good to know)

Had this happen to me, my own doing in washing inside the handle.

Grab a tiny bit of rubber, cut it into a few Mil's and superglue it in that spot.

sounds like you washed out a rubber bumper stop. This problem is different, the stops are present. Seems like hnadle install is missing « spacers »
