Tesla Model S door handle Break down #TearDown #Tesla
YouTuber Boost Brothers goes through the surprisingly complex mechanisms of a Tesla door handle. Via Cnet:
A traditional door handle is a simple lever, but on the Tesla Model S, it’s an intricate ballet of moving parts. Thanks to one curious auto writer, we can see exactly how it works.
Bozi Tatarevic, a freelance auto writer and general car-parts nerd, posted a YouTube video that offers up some serious details about the inner workings of the Model S door handle. Using a door handle he sourced from a junkyard for $30 (the assembly retails new for just under $800), he shows how the whole shebang works.
His attention to detail is staggering. Not only does he take it apart, but he also goes into detail on its operation — how it’s able to extend when you’re walking up, or how it can extend when you give it a little push.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
