    Valet mode

    I think it's a good idea. No insurmountable drawbacks I can think of. Sure, there could be some corner cases related to emergency situations, but that could be addressed with a clear and prominent warning on the touchscreen (e.g. "the owner of this vehicle will be alerted on their mobile...

    Things you didn't know about your Model X

    I don't know this for sure 100%, but my understanding is that you can close the FWD by hand without causing any damage to them. Just like the lift gate.

    Towing without the Towing Package

    I haven't tried that. I'll give it a try and post an update here.

    Things you didn't know about your Model X

    BTW, I have also found that sometimes it doesn't display the P but it still works. On those occasions, I have been intently looking for the P, given up on it, only to find that when I put the car on reverse to park it myself, all of a sudden the touchscreen displays the controls for auto-park.

    Towing without the Towing Package

    I ordered my P90D with accessory hitch and no tow option. I am pretty sure I had the Tow Mode button/slider on my touch screen at the time of delivery, and then at some point it disappeared. I don't know if it has been removed OTA because I haven't paid for the towing package, or if it would...

    Musk had enough of the Falcon Wing Doors yet?

    My family and I are very satisfied with the FWD. We find them extremely convenient for our day-to-day use, and haven't had any issues with them at all.

    Thoughts and concerns on our new MX

    It does... BTW, you can look at the image of your car in the instrument cluster and see the brake lights come on and off depending on the level of deceleration.

    Yes, but done on purpose to parody click bait articles often found in many media outlets lately. So perhaps not funny, but certainly witty.

    Model X for when the SHTF

    Then put a helium source next to the BDM filter intake and your X might just take off!

    Random Model X sightings

    Just saw a beautiful titanium metallic one driving around T-Mobile's HQ in Bellevue, WA this morning. Too sudden and quick to take a pic. Made me miss my Blue Spark even more :)

    To Wrap or not wrap your Model X

    Check out Detail | Window Tint | XPEL | Opti-Coat | Modesta | Cquartz They have a location in Glenview and one in Glen Ellyn. I haven't wrapped my X but I've had it hand-washed at the Glen Ellyn shop and they did a nice job.

    6-seat model owners? (especially in the Chicagoland area)

    Hi Elliott, I have a six-seater and would be happy to let you take a look - no scotch required. I'm located in the western suburbs. PM me for further details.

    Crunch! Falcon Wing Doors fail to sense obstacle

    Exactly! I am one of them. My lower back sings odes to Elon and the whole design department at Tesla each and every time I put my toddler into his car seat in the X. The roof cutout provided by the FWD is absolutely amazing.

    Crunch! Falcon Wing Doors fail to sense obstacle

    I agree with you, but trying to give @Drivin the benefit of the doubt, maybe what he meant is that he dislikes the fact that the sensor placement makes the doors ineffective at dealing with situations such as the OP's.
