    Deteriorating falcon wing door moon roof gasket on early model X’s

    I contacted a local firm here in Montgomery, AL. They were already familiar with the situation (apparently contacted by many MX owners) and they say the Tesla arbitration clause is iron-clad, no avenue for a class action. An owner's only recourse is Arbitration. I'm doing it now.

    Deteriorating falcon wing door moon roof gasket on early model X’s

    I would not press the used car dealer. I'm certain they thought "fix seals" would mean use some off-the-shelf weather stripping and peel the old stuff off. I thought the same thing when I first started trying to get this fixed. Low-n-behold we all come to find out the seals are integrated...

    MX17 - FalconWing Door weather stripping deteriorating - Not covered by Warranty

    Arbitration is your only option. No known work around. Submit a service request just so you can document how much it will cost and get them on the record denying your request for warranty. In the service request specifically ask for warranty repair so they have to address it and deny it...

    MX17 - FalconWing Door weather stripping deteriorating - Not covered by Warranty

    Not much hope for class action suit. Made contact with a firm here in Montgomery, AL, they were already familiar with the issue. I guess with over 150,000 Model X’s on the road with this issue (2016-2019 total production), they have been contacted about this many times before. They say the Tesla...

    Deteriorating falcon wing door moon roof gasket on early model X’s

    I've been referred to a local Firm here in Montgomery, AL. I hope to to talk to them this week. My fear is, since there is no "liability" involved (no injuries, no deaths, not a safety issue), they will not be interested. Even if they can win, besides recovering their hourly fees, there...

    Deteriorating falcon wing door moon roof gasket on early model X’s

    I see you got the repair done, one of 16 people off three threads on this forum I’ve ID’d so far. I am attempting Arbitration. I have a favor to ask, as part of arbitration I will ask Tesla for "discovery" to disclose to me how many times this repair has been done. Thought being, if I can make...

    Black exterior rubber molding with cracks and chunks missing

    Sitting at the Service Center in Pensacola, FL (with my MS); just so happens there are four MX's in the paring lot (no idea what their issue is), but 3 of them have the same bad rubber trim.

    Black exterior rubber molding with cracks and chunks missing

    Hello all. I'm in the same position, 2016 Sig X. First noticed the issue in 2019 when it would have been under warranty but did not pursue it then; now the rubber is falling off in chunks and of course I'm outside my warranty. Sure, Tesla says they will fix for >$2k, but I'm upset b/c this is...

    Deteriorating falcon wing door moon roof gasket on early model X’s

    My service center said it will not cause leaks, they it merely decreases the amount of water entering the water channel of the FW door and it slightly decreases wind noise. That being said, I have been avoiding drive thru car washes, afraid the power spray will #1 knock off more chunks of...
