    Autopark on Model X?

    So I got up the courage to try this, and it was indeed impressive. Yes it had about 9 feet to work with, but the speed and precision was impressive. It was slightly harder to get engaged then described in the manual, but that might have just been user ignorance. It seems as though you need to...

    X driver's door auto open and close

    So a bit of an update on this. I was instructed at delivery to play catch with my doors around curbs and poles, because they would stop once they hit something (a bit late). I was more or less irate about this, but it was true (and I have the scratches to prove it). At some point mostly through...

    Post Initial Problems with the Model X

    Is there any feasibility of having a thread of issues in which only owners, and people with immediate delivery numbers (somehow verified) can participate? There's a need for information. Sometimes someone at Tesla has it, sometimes its someone on this thread. Alot of us signed up knowing our...

    Autopark on Model X?

    Has anyone successfully gotten theirs to work? After driving the car between 100 and 200 miles (sorry haven't kept a strict count) over the past week, I finally started seeing some "P"'s appear corresponding to potential parking spots. Much as they stated at delivery, "about a week later the car...

    Model X 2015 deliveries

    Thanks Dirk for clarifying my otherwise confusing statement. Thank you ecarfan for calling me on that.

    Model X 2015 deliveries

    Thanks again Bonnie which doors are you referring to? I sense you are speaking about the falcon doors? I am relatively sure the front doors stop when they get to their destination or when they feel resistance. If we are talking about Falcon doors, how far away from said object do they stop? My...

    Model X 2015 deliveries

    Bonnie- You could easily be right. If you tell me "since sunday, I've spoken to authoritative people at TSLA and they said don't worry about it" then I am willing to believe you got the right answer. I never really claimed one way or the other whether this could happen. Indeed I hope you are...

    {Resolved-Yes!} Can Front and Falcon Wing Doors (FWD) be open simultaneously?

    Hobbes- I saw that, thank you. Honestly somewhat of a relief. That is almost certainly right. I agree with the " how could the behavior be any different?" line of thought. I haven't really tried to replicate but my best guess is that I was indeed holding down "open" rather than "close"...

    {Resolved-Yes!} Can Front and Falcon Wing Doors (FWD) be open simultaneously?

    Many thanks are due to Bonnie for sure. Obviously I have no beef with her, I seriously doubt she has one with me. I would point out that Bonnie got her delivery a full week before I did, and things may have changed since then. Its entirely possible Kiersten (sp?) was misinformed. She is not a...

    Model X 2015 deliveries

    Its not *so* much bigger. The angle is a little unfair, probably subconsciously shifted to illustrate the fact that indeed I posses two different FOBs. It took considerable restraint to keep a gesture for luca out of the picture, so I didn't really intend for it to be scrutinized! This is...

    {Resolved-Yes!} Can Front and Falcon Wing Doors (FWD) be open simultaneously?

    Look, I agree, thats probably how it should work- that behavior would make sense to me. I would rather be manually opening my somewhat open door than trying to catch it before it hits something. Service manager, in an email tells me: " The rear falcon wing doors do have a sonar type sensor...

    Model X 2015 deliveries

    "sonar" was the word used at delivery. Not quite sure its accurate, but their nomenclature. ecarfan, I think you are pretty much spot on. the reality is I was in no mood to test how much mass is necessary to stop the FWD. *Maybe* the sensors would have stopped the doors an inch after I did. who...

    {Resolved-Yes!} Can Front and Falcon Wing Doors (FWD) be open simultaneously?

    When I went to the unveiling/delivery, the lady in charge of deliveries, at a moment when she knew she had everyone's attention, said something to the effect of "we have one rule you need to know, and thats to not open both doors simultaneously (front and FWD) as they may hit each other. You...

    Model X 2015 deliveries

    What in particular is in conflict with what others have said? I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, and I haven't read the manual. Nor have I really had the time to go through the posts the way I'd like. I get the whole "pics or i didn't happen" thing but whatever crummy pics I could have...

    Model X 2015 deliveries

    Not going to totally disagree with you. The X is a great ride in many ways, I certainly prefer it (though my comp is an early model S) and is way more functional for many of those who can garage it. There's some kinks to be worked out (your car is already back with tesla and I sense mine will...

    Model X 2015 deliveries

    *long time* lurker here I took delivery of Sig #64 last Sunday. Sig #25 was also delivered to some guys who rolled up in a pretty sick looking I8. It was all hands on deck at the Burbank service center (sadly no Elon!) just to deliver 2 cars. Busy time of year, so I have had limited...
