He made new keys from the ignition cylinder, and then further cleaned and tuned the locks. They work very well now. You can see the difference between the original key and the new one.
This blog follows the progress of restoring and converting a 1973 Porsche 914 from stock to full electric drive, with an electric motor and half a ton of batteries. Now that the car is done and in storage while I live overseas, I'm adding descriptions and pictures of each Tesla location I visit.

Keys and Locks
The original key was badly worn, to the point where it was difficult to start the car without significant wiggling. As I was getting ready to rebuild the dashboard, I took apart the locks and thouroughly cleaned all of the components. The dirt and grime of 37 years just kept pouring out. I then took the keys, the ignition cylinder, the door locks and trunk lock to an automotive lock specialist in Morro Bay.
