Folks, be careful with these door handle design that is located inside the door. I know if seems so obvious to all of us that these handle are used to be pull the door shut and we move our hands out of the way. However that is not all intuitive to non mechanical people. My wife forgot and held the door handle shut all the way. The door complete shut on her three fingers. Thank God the door had 1/4 gap or it would have chopped her fingers off. It cut her fingers and we spent the whole night in ER. No broken bones but just deep cut and bruises. I still kept the handles but advice all my friends how to use it before they get in the car.

Yep. I keep trying to warn people about these devices.

There have been several instances of people slamming their fingers in the door using these; so I wouldn't use them out of abundance of caution.

Little kids are especially risky.
That’s a good point I had not considered.especially since the car is pod’s anyway. Maybe Tesla had the right idea leaving these off.
What do you all think of these?

These look cool too but $200? For real? Anyone here actually bought these and can share if they were worth it?

Same here. It was a tight parking spot and I used my right hand to shut the door and didn't have time to move it out and it shut completely closed on my 3rd and 4th fingernails. Lost one nail and got a few stitches, but I freaked out and happened to be at a Tesla service center dropping it off. I still have them, but use my left hand and make sure I have enough clearance. I never use my right hand now and tell everyone else to shut it from the outside of the door. I don't care about fingerprints enough to go through that again.

Interesting. Come in mars red too. Made in USA a plus. What makes these “the best”’you have come across. Could you elaborate?
I have ordered the other ones but would be too flimsy or they would not stick well so I ended up returning those. These I’ve had for almost 6 months now with no issues. Yeah the mars red is also pretty cool too 📐 🧑‍🚀

These are the exact ones I used first. They worked great. Looked like the belonged there and gave good grip as well as a less hot grip compared to metal.
Now that I have a wrap, I am not sure if I will put them back for looks. I got another type I am trying out.

Looking to add some of those inside the door handles to my new truck.
What the best version of these you have seen?
There are some glow in the dark ones and billet ones on Etsy which look rather cool but I’m wondering what you all have found.

I feel like the glow in the dark ones may be visible through the door gaps at night and I’m not sure that’s desirable unless you also have a tron thing going on or something
I bought these a few weeks ago and they are the best . . Will post the link to purchase when I find it. Sorry for not including with this post.
