If i'm making that I sense when the opener arm is at the end of its travel by the current used by the motor.

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.

and ice exists on this planet, handles freeze again :D

Wow you actually made most of that understandable to me. Great job!

Gotta love that HV cable taking a U turn off the bracket :D

That was a cool video. I love finding solutions to problems - and the update is WAY more elegant.

I’m still disturbed by the lack of (always open) external handles. If a Tesla crashes, and power is lost, bystanders will not be able to quickly pull the doors open.

Something I hope is brought up in DFMEA meetings is the effects of cold and ice. I've had Toyotas that won't fully latch the hatch in winter because the interior heat melts the snow around the door, it falls to the bottom and refreezes. I end up going outside several times per winter with a hair dryer. I imagine the Tesla door handle might break as described if ice jams it open. Also, I had an iPhone5 that would give a temperature lockout telling me to allow the phone to cool off before I could use it whenever I would go ice fishing at -30°C. I figured out the problem when I turned the phone over: "Designed in California." It's not always stupid users but designers who can't imagine use cases outside of their own experience.

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!! Thanks for the video! :)

Loved the end 😂 I’ll spare you from those meetings 😂

5:12 "Apple uses a lot of magnets."😅true indeed. And, I have to say: Magnets actually are magical.

Loved the DFMEA bit. There is always a new creative form to destroy a part that's not captured in it.

What if i wash my car with gasoline. What if i accidentally use a sledgehammer to open my door. What if i drive while really really really drunk. Stuff like that.

As an electrical engineer, after seeing what you said on this video, if I saw you in front of me... We would probably hang around. Love the video and sense of humor ❤️

Love the video! Would love to see more technical breakdowns of good engineering, like Sandy Munroe used to do more often

"If I can't see them, they must not be there" AHhh, superfastmatt just got snapped out of existence.

One of the best videos I have ever seen about anything. I love your sense of humour (I am in Canada so I spell humour the right way). I am keeping track of your Jag. great series

Omg what you said about FMEA meetings cracked me up. Although I must say that meeting is way better than 6 engineers brainstorming to come up with requirements 😁. Liked, subscribed so you don't have to go to FMEA meetings.

The youtube algorithm seems to be a little better tuned today! iv saw your channel before, and I like to think I am a regular in these parts(teardown, Electonic Engineering, hacking stuff) Great video! really enjoyed the deep dive into....a car handle! Take a sub! more videos like this, please!

I absolutely love this channel's mix of "car repair show" + "professional youtuber" + "sarcastic comedy" It's a combination I didn't know I needed, but absolutely do.

Nice design and great video. A motor can reset its position awareness by occasionally ramming itself against the bump stop, then it calls that offset its zero position.

I saw Dougs video on the new Model S Plaid right after seeing this video and I died laughing when the door handles failed on the brand new car lmao.

"and suppliers that would actually answer the phone" SHEEEEEEESSHH that one hits close to home

Right? People have a hard time imagining a world where businesses just don't do business with you. The average person can walk into any store and get what they want as long as it's available. B2B is a totally different animal and there's nothing more frustrating than not being able to get what you need because the vendor doesn't consider you worth their time.
