Does anyone have any experience with Tesla's electric door handles (Model S)? How do they perform in wet/cold climate where it freezes during the night?

And then there is the falcon wings: any experiences with snow on the roof while opening the doors?

My Model 3's door handles were frozen shut one morning. I had to carefully chip it off before I could get in.

I've also had ice on the charging port that I had to chip off before it would open. I now believe they have added some sort of heating through a software update.

Lol, they can do anything through software updates.

Here's a recent Rich Rebuilds vid that covered the wet/cold door handle scenario: https://youtu.be/ezqwfha-BZ8?t=488
