But they are SO cool.
They remind me - forgive the thirty-year slip back in tine - of the Nakamichi autoreverse tape deck that, to allow for autoreverse of the tape at the end of a side, flipped open the tape holder, swiveled the tape 180 degrees, and retracted back into the tape deck. Sweet.
I'd keep the handles as they are. They remain Signature Tesla. The perfect welcoming, the stunning entry.

effin. awesome.
Just curious...
If Tesla included a 16yr warranty on the handles (with free Ranger visits to repair), would any of the critics feel better about them?
I hadn't honestly thought of the long-term durability, but I would imagine they are covered under the normal warranty, no? I guess I always assumed that if they 100% broke, they would be fixed anyway. Tesla wouldn't want to be known as the company that adds gee-whiz stuff that breaks and costs an arm and a leg to fix (especially with the Falcon doors still looming), so I'd assume they'd make sure they were covered.
