yes, i agree. that's what i'm planning to do once i get the car back. disable AutoClose!

we noticed the same in that two week period we used homelink, it just didn't send the signal to autoclose few times and we had to manually close by touching the homelink option on the screen. so before we drive off, we ensure that the garage door is closed. i can confirm that the autoclose did...

It wasn't really the AutoClose feature that caused this mishap, it happened just because the car sent the signal to homelink when I put in reverse.

valid point, but we have no smaller kids in the area, so i guess we should be good with that height. i had the auto-close set to 20ft, but it sent the signal when i had gone in reverse for just 1.5ft. thats way too bad timing to send the signal.

I got the sensor moved yesterday to 2ft high. Once I get the car back after the repair, I'll ensure it's high enough to detect the rear end of ModelX. Regarding the reversing sensor you mentioned, the garage door was already open when I got inside the car. So when I put in reverse, there was...

Yes, thats right. I was surprised too when I learnt that from him. I think that was the root cause of this accident. I'm waiting for Tesla to confirm after their review. I had AutoClose set at 20ft and AutoOpen set at 100ft. Since I had gone in reverse only about 1.5ft(the gap between the rear...

Oh oh .. here's another scenario - you drive off the driveway, someone at home closed the garage door using the wall switch and went inside. AutoClose will send the signal and will then leave the garage door open! the glass broke from the weight of the door .. so just to be on the safer side...

I had gone in reverse only about 1.5ft, so a distance of 20ft or at least just 2ft would have prevented this accident as the garage door sensor will stop the door from closing. Per the service center manager, dont use the wall switch to open the garage door, just get inside the car and put in...

Please be aware that the car doesn't know the state of the garage door. So whether it's AutoClose or AutoOpen, the car just sends the signal to the homelink and it will close if the garage door is open, and will open if it's closed.

pls disregard the train picture that got attached inadvertently to the thread. i'm not able to remove it. (admin, pls help!)

Homelink auto close/open feature kicked in while I started to back out my ModelX from the garage and the garage door crushed the rear glass and broke the spoiler. :( I had it set to auto close in 20 ft and auto open in 100 ft. We always open the garage door by pressing the wall switch, get...
