Model S Electric

  • CVT transmission
  • 2,500 miles

I have purchased the Tesla Model S in late 2013 and ever since every time I try to get into the car I almost burn my hand because the door handle is so hot under the sun or by outside temperature.

Now we are in November and the car gives unplesant hot shock to my hand every time and I can't imagine how hard it will be to get into the car when real hot days come next summer. Tesla should have thought of driver safety a little further by treating its metal door handles so that it is safer to grab the door handle before grabbing the steering wheel. I don't think anyone can drive safely with burnt hand.
