Wait until your MCU doesn't startup every few times you get into the car, where you have to sit there for 10 minutes or more to reset it. During those 10 minutes you wonder if this is the day when it just won't come back - hopefully you're not in a rush to go anywhere. Then a door might spontaneously open on you while driving here or there. Then you take it in for service for the door opening and they say they cannot reproduce it and charge you $200 for diagnostics without a repro (even if under warranty), even though you managed to catch it on a cell phone video which you showed to service. Then you realize that your range has been cut with an over-the-air update, and your coolant pumps are now running 24/7 if you charge above 70%. When the main screen on a less than a year old car starts yellowing, you take it to service and they tell you that is your fault for exposing the car to oxygen and sunlight. Then the door handle comes out permanently, with the light always ON like a beacon in a parking lot, it stops working completely (have to open the door from the inside) but the door stops opening spontaneously on its own, so you consider the dead door handle as a good thing. Perhaps then you start thinking "I've had other brands of cars before for much longer that this Tesla and they never had these kinds of issues, even even in a Porsche door handle is cheaper to fix (were it to break) than a Tesla, while you get another Porsche to drive, rather than Uber credits which will not even take you home from the service center and back. And this is when your "aha!" moment comes, "Teslas are a dream to drive, but a pain in the ass to own". I bought 4 Model S's since 2013, I knew at first I was getting an early adopter product but service was stellar and I was willing to put up with it. I was somewhat surprised in 2017 that Tesla hasn't matured when I bought my wife a Model S and it required 4 service visits over the next 4 months to fix an issue found during delivery. But again, that was January 2017, service was still awesome (no Model 3/Y flood yet, always got a loaner, they bent over backwards to fix problems), though my wife did give me grief over a brand new, $100K car, with a frequent need for service.I bought a Prius in 2007. I loved it for the first few years. After 10 years and 150K miles, I was well beyond my desire to drive it. It’s hard to ever imagine that happening with my MS. Fortunately it’s spent very little time in the service center
If this actually happened to you, I hope you provided said video to NHTSA. Spontaneous door opening can be deadly.Then a door might spontaneously open on you while driving here or there.

No video (would take a special setup as it is not reproducible on demand), but after it happened I searched here, and it's not a new or unknown problem.If this actually happened to you, I hope you provided said video to NHTSA. Spontaneous door opening can be deadly.
Sounds like there should be a software lockout that prevents the door from opening when in gear and above 5 MPH or so.No video (would take a special setup as it is not reproducible on demand), but after it happened I searched here, and it's not a new or unknown problem.
Model S - pass door opened by itself while driving
Not sure if anyone else has experience d this, but while I was driving to the Service Center this morning to get some parts installed, my front passenger door opened automatically while I was on the highway. Sept 2017 S90D on 2018.12. SC is checking logs and hypothesizing issue could be a sensor...teslamotorsclub.com
I'd say no opening the door with car in Drive would be better, at least from an external door handle.Sounds like there should be a software lockout that prevents the door from opening when in gear and above 5 MPH or so.
..."at least from an external door handle." Doesn't the car auto lock the doors when we put it in gear now/already? Mine does or did. I've not looked lately.I'd say no opening the door with car in Drive would be better, at least from an external door handle.
He might reconsider this as a long term solution when he is subjected to coal rolling. Something I never worry about in the MS.I'm so sorry. I hope you get better soon.
As for me, after four Teslas and a couple hundred thousand miles on them I wonder what "service" we're talking about. Personally I just adjust my own windshield wiper blades, so I don't need to go to the dealer. Maybe you folk are so used to taking your gas cars in for "service" that you just keep taking in your Teslas. Beats me.That's a shame. I mean, tesla service sucks, but ya know.
Well since it beats you and you are stumped.As for me, after four Teslas and a couple hundred thousand miles on them I wonder what "service" we're talking about.

I was shocked when my car died, but really disappointed in the service. Trying to blame Teslafi and SMT for the problem.
Being an Engineer, was having none of that. Deluged them with data, vids, and voltage readings, SB's, posts from this forum until they finally agreed to fix it.
Then they said it was fine. Went to pick up the car and it was dead in the SvC driveway. Exactly as I had left it.
Two weeks later and I got the car back. Pack was pulled and contactors replaced.
I went under the car to look over the work and found all kinds of problems, not just minor ones like missing rivets, but missing pack components and loose critical fasteners.
Took a ranger visit and extensive research to document all the missing parts, over a dozen, and work with mobile to make it right.
As Elon said, the best service is no service. The majority of folks that rave about service of late probably have not had any done, or only minor things, or have not looked closely at the work performed.
Be honest. Have you looked under the car, or frunk,or under the back seat, or even put a torque wrench on the lug nuts, and found nothing amiss?
