    Falcon wing doors issues on hot days.

    Exact same issue described here. The Marietta, GA SC acknowledged that this is a known issue. I am taking my vehicle in for a fix (hopefully) this Friday. Fingers crossed as this is very infrequent and just a minor annoyance on an otherwise flawless vehicle!

    Range mode

    Btw turning range mode on does turn off the DRLs as of the latest firmware on my MX90D. That's actually the only reason why I don't use the range mode much. I prefer the DRLs to be on all the time.

    Model x wind noise at 100 plus

    Way more road noise compared to my X5 even when I am doing just 70. However i would absolutely not trade this car for any of the luxury brands

    Falcon Wing Door sensor reliability?

    Exact same behavior on our black 90D At least now I know I am not imagining things. Weird thing is that it doesn't happen if you are driving in the hot sunshine. It only happens when you are parked in the open for a long time. So far it doesn't bother me too much as my vehicle is generally not...

    Enhanced Air Quality Package

    Got mine installed yesterday at the Marietta, GA SC. Got a call from the SC earlier in the morning that the part had arrived and I could get it installed the same day. Took them about 45 mins to install it and activate the software components.

    FWD won't open and driver's door opens slightly

    When I had this problem.. the SC shop order stated that a control module reset was done to resolve the problem. I have not had that issue since the reset

    FWD won't open and driver's door opens slightly

    Spoke to the SC this morning and they are pulling logs from the vehicle to see if this is something that can be done over the air. If not, then I am hoping a visit to the SC takes care of this issue once and for all.

    Falcon wing stopped working

    Ugh... I dont suppose I can do that on my own without voiding the warranty? I just want to reset the damn thing. The car operates absolutely fine otherwise!

    Falcon wing stopped working

    Exact same problem including the front don't opening just a few inches. I am hoping a firmware upgrade is the fix but apparently a hardware component was fixed for another vehicle? I still think it's some sort of a funky state for the firmware that needs a hard reset/reinstall..

    First Big FWD Issue, Help?!

    It's got to be a silly firmware bug. The door is in a funky stage and the firmware cannot detect whether it's open or closed. This is just a guess looking at how the screen shows both the options for the door. I am positive a firmware reinstall or an upgrade should fix it. However unfortunately...

    First Big FWD Issue, Help?!

    I just got this issue in my passenger fwd. Any pointers on if this can be fixed easily via a reset? Is there a way for us to force a firmware upgrade? It sucks that this had to happen like 15 mins before we were to leave for a week long family trip ... I still love the car (sic)

    Advice needed.. Urgent. Tesla screwed up my loan

    This is weird. What papers (or electronic documents) did you sign when you picked up the car. Was the loan arranged by Tesla? If so how would could they let you take delivery?! I had to finish signing all the financial documents and show proof of wire transfer (down payment + financed amount)...

    Should I buy the Model X?

    I have had my Model X 90D since August and I don't regret my decision one bit. I was in a similar situation and had even gone to the Tesla store to change my order to an S. Fortunately I stuck with the X order. With 4K miles and an almost flawless car, I am a very happy Tesla customer. You...

    FWD door issue after 8.0 upgrade?

    So picked up my car today from the SC and everything looks good. They ended up replacing a pinch sensor and also upgraded the firmware to 2.40.21. Unfortunately I don't remember what the base 8.0 firmware release was that messed up the door to begin with. In any case the SC folks were awesome as...

    FWD door issue after 8.0 upgrade?

    I will let you all know what was fixed (and if it works!) once I pick up my car from the SC today (hopefully!). The service advisor did say that a new patch for some of these straggler issues is either available already or will be available very soon. Ill check the firmware version once I pick...

    I have #3 above after the 8.0 upgrade although I have never had any prior issues with the FWD. Dropped the car off at the SC yesterday and will be picking up tomorrow.

    Rear vents louder with 8.0

    We have definitely noticed the increased air flow with the V8.0 upgrade. I almost always have some form of music or radio on in the car so never noticed the increase in air vent sound..

    FWD door issue after 8.0 upgrade?

    Even in my case the door closes without the obstruction issue about 3/10 times. Reboot or recalibration did not work so I am probably going to get an SC appointment. I do have a few minor trim related stuff to fix so hopefully I can get all that done in one visit.

    FWD door issue after 8.0 upgrade?

    I believe so. I have the exact same behavior on my MX. I did however get the garage door raised so the FWDs can open fully.

    FWD door issue after 8.0 upgrade?

    I believe that's because the location accuracy is probably about 10 or so meters so the car cannot distinguish whether it is inside or outside your garage.

    FWD door issue after 8.0 upgrade?

    I upgraded my 90D to the 8.0 software yesterday. While everything else looks fine, I seem to have developed an issue with the driver side FWD detecting a false obstacle while closing. I can always override and close. However I have NEVER had an issue with the FWDs until the Software upgrade...

    First Model X with 8.0

    I started the update about an hour ago and went to look at the car. It seems completely dead. No display no "possessed" behavior. The doors seems to open and close. How long is this supposed to take?

    Cold feet. Help me decide

    Couldnt agree more! 2k+ miles and absolutely no issues with the car. Sometimes I wonder if I am looking hard enough to find some of the issues that I am supposed to find :oops: In all fairness, I think with a later VIN I expected to have most (if not all) of the earlier issues resolved and they...

    Cold feet. Help me decide

    It's what Tesla calls an "extended test drive". You can ask for it and they will usually provide you with a Model S. I did that too a few months into the order so I don't think it matters to them whether you have put in your deposit or not.

    Are front license plate holders pre-installed?

    I picked up mine about a month ago and it did not come with the front plate installed. The mounting bracket was kept in the trunk in case I needed to use it. Fortunately in GA we do not require front plates.

    Cold feet. Help me decide

    There will always be new features in a newer vehicle. IMHO you pull the trigger to purchase when you are ready to buy the car :) Talking from personal experience, we were on the fence about getting an S vs an X. I even went to the SC to change my order. However after a test drive, there was no...

    Model X Depreciation....WoW!

    A pre owned ( albeit with just ~600miles) Model X would not qualify for the fed tax credit so it should depreciate by at least 7.5k. I would say that would bring down the real depreciation to about 15-16%.

    Does the model X make your passengers car sick?

    My wife has complained about it when she has had to sit in the 2nd row with our toddler. I think it is due to the regenerative braking. lifting your foot off the accelerator causes the car to slow down much more drastically than it would in an ICE and this makes the 2nd and 3rd row passengers a...

    To Wrap or not wrap your Model X

    Just got a full wrap for our Model X using Supreme Shield PPF. The car looks very nice and road debris, dirt and bugs wipe right off. I was debating whether the cost was justified. However, I have a lot more peace of mind now knowing that the car is protected from these minor issues. The cost...

    100D Very Cool

    Yup, it depends on your usual long commute. I generally travel from Atlanta to Nashville and the 240 mile trip requires me to recharge at an SC. Another 30 miles with a 10kwh increment in the battery range will be awesome. I would not mind paying for that.

    Model X August Deliveries

    Model X August Deliveries

    I don't have PUP so I assumed that the vehicle would not be wired for interior ambient lighting. The Abstract Ocean LEDs are a replacement for the dome lights correct? Since I don't currently have ambient lighting, I don't think there is a way to do that post delivery.
