Not surprising at all.
I love the idea of Tesla and what they're doing, but I still get a feeling that a lot of what they're developing is designed to work in CA, be damned anywhere else.
Though, in their defense, frozen door handles don't work very well pretty much anywhere ice has had an opportunity to seize up joints.

One is known for it's cold, the other not-so-much.
My insinuations about testing flush manual handles in the cold thus applies to the (desert) California end of things.
This isn't a problem unique to Tesla though, unfortunately. They don't make things the way they used to be. My Chevy's exterior-sitting plastic pull-handles also snap from frozen parts, too. I'd just hope that a $50,000 small sedan which is a peek into the future also takes in to account common weather-related-issues in their preferred markets.

Not the two letter country abbreviation for Canada.

Not similar GDP though :( California is 2.2x Canada's GDP.
