To be fair, contactors are usually quite an expensive component. Replacements for the high end Teslas are $150 each used (and there's 2 of them).
That said, like you said, if it overheats it's a contactor defect. They're either on or off and doesn't switch live loads. They shouldn't be using the same contactor in the GT as they use in the lower end models, purely because the GT has a much higher current draw under load.
