    Don't buy an X in a snowy climate

    I think so, but I'll have to wait for the next ice storm to confirm 😂

    Don't buy an X in a snowy climate

    Only in some circumstances. When it's just a sunlight issue it tends to work, but other types of interference like even just a thinnest crust of ice and no go.

    And more importantly just allow your doors to open without tech. I don't need a computer to tell me if I can open my door, I should always be able to override it... But yes, thanks for getting it! Lol

    Snow is okay because you can wipe it off, I think it's something about the density of ice that messed with the sensors. I guess I assumed snowy area means you might get freezing rain now and again. But if the sun melts everything off, you are golden and it's an amazing car.

    Don't buy an X in a snowy climate

    Hey everyone, X and S owner for the last year. Love the cars themselves, but sad to report that I can't recommend and X for anyone who sees snow in their area. The problem I've run into is a convoluted one as one thing affects the next, but here goes. The initial issue is that overriding the...
