Handy Tesla Enter/Exit Hand

These terrific handles (sometimes called "the Car Cane") are available to help with entry and exit from your Tesla's driver and passenger doors. I haven't tried them with the rear doors as I cannot do my wheelchair transfer there. (Buying Your Tesla? Please Note: I'd appreciate your using my referral code referral code to order so we both get 1000 free SuperCharger miles.)

Used alone or with one hand on the door, you've got great two-point support for transfer to your chair.

You keep the handle in the glove box disconnected in the glove box until needed. It locks into the car door creating a secure handle to help provide leverage and support while getting out of the car. They usually have a nonslip grip and can support up to 350 pounds. Its convenient size means it fits perfectly into your glove box. Some manufacturers make it even more versatile, adding safety features, including a flashlight, seatbelt cutter and window breaker. Prices run between $10-40, and the cheapest one available is as good as the most expensive.
