We have been, all in all, very satisfied with our Model X over the last 4 years. Two usability deficiencies still bug us:
1. We are in our eighties and really need a grab bar on front seat passenger side to aid in entry/exit. Understand the lack of space due to cable runs, etc. in this particular car, but will the refresh have such a feature? If not, are there any third-party solutions to this lack?
2. Because of our driver heights, as well as car dimensions/geometry, we do not see the left front of the car from the driver's position. This makes it difficult for us to maneuver easily/safely when pulling into diagonal parking spaces. A birdseye view of the car that shows the immediate right and left sides of the vehicle would help immeasurably. Other brands of cars have had this for years. We keep hearing that' it's coming ("real soon now") but no joy as yet.
Will birdseye be made available to all current and previous models, do we know? If so, when? Will FSD be a prereq? Or not? (We have applied for FSD Beta but our driver score (current = 97) is apparently too low to allow us to qualify.) We are not particularly interested in FSD per se - we just want to be able to press a screen control, see the birdseye display, get parked, and turn the birdseye back off.
Interested in others' thoughts.
