    great review of the new door handle design.... as an automotive engineer, I always thought that original door handle was a great example of how NOT to design a part. Never understood why engineers put those microswitches on the parts that Moved!!!.. since that makes the wires & connections bend/move, ultimately breaking.

    Most likely the current for the motor in monitored, so if for some reason the current spykes and the solid state sensor detects the handle isn't fully retracted it must be chopping fingers and it deploys.

      There is no direct logic style feedback per say, but you can monitor load as wicked said. You could probably test it by trying to stop it popping out. If it gives up fairly quickly and retracts, it's monitoring load.

      On the other hand have you ever looked for a replacement part for you car? I have to measure everything and compare part to pictures every time. Manufactures don't care about some schmuck who will try to get replacement parts in 10 years and will use whatever non-interchangeable parts they have on their hands so the production line doesn't stop.

      One assumes this is the number one, or maybe number two, reason Tesla famously doesn't let ANYONE work on their cars. The only way to get the right part is to look up the original build sheet by VIN, and even that will probably miss the epoxy blob or painters tape loom retainer, or 3D printed mount.

    Hey Matt, on the idea that it wouldn't know if it was stowed or deployed, or if there was something in the way of it stowing, a lot of these DC motors nowadays are controlled via H bridges with a shunt built in so I'm sure Tesla is monitoring motor current in the little control module to detect when the handle is seeing more resistance than a free-moving handle would.

    That last revision is basically a very fancy Hall effect sensor... i used to use some of the less fancy ones with a STM nucleo board (ADC) to replace the old pots on my F-16 replica sidestick.
    The ones i used behaved like a traditional potentiometer on its range of motion.. Attach a magnet to the moving bit, the sensor to the non-moving part and voilá....
    My last iteration i went a bit further and designed a load-cell based design, so the sidestick barely moves and the output is proportional to the force applied! Similar to the real one. Works great on Falcon BMS!!

    Something similar to the "SENT" system has been present in model railways for years. It's called DCC, which uses AC rather than DC to send signals to locomotives, points and other devices. Each DCC chip is assigned a programmable code, and when you use a DCC bus to send signals, it sends a signal that only the chip that it is trying to send signals to can read. This means you can have several devices reading complicated instructions on the same two wires. It's mostly used to run multiple trains on the same, unisolated track layout, with independent control.
