Cannot force trunk to open all the way inside garage

[pattersj]

New model X owner here. I want to be able to open my trunk all the way inside my garage. I have high ceilings so thhere is no issue. The sensors keep stopping it. I push it all the way but am not seeing anything on the screen asking me if I always want to open all the way. So far I haven’t found a way other than manually lifting it up. Thank you.

Did you try this? (from the user's manual, you said you were a new owner). This worked for me, but I had to shorten the maximum on mine model y.

Adjusting Liftgate Opening Height​

You can adjust the opening height of the liftgate to make it easier to reach or to avoid low-hanging ceilings or objects (for example, a garage door or light):

1. Open the trunk, then manually lower or raise the liftgate to the desired opening height.
2. Press and hold the button on the underside of the liftgate for three seconds until you hear a confirmation chime.
3. Confirm that you have set it to the desired height by closing the liftgate, then reopening it.

Yes, I tried that. I think that button is typically used when you want to limit the height. I am trying to override the sensors.

I have the identical problem on my 2019 Raven and this proposed solution has NEVER worked for me. I’ve tried it more than 100 times over the past few years.

I have the same problem with my garage. It's not particularly low but I'm guessing the trunk sensors are picking up the open garage door above them. The thing is that there is plenty of room to open fully and I've tried to train the trunk to open fully but it keeps reverting back to only opening halfway.

I wish there was a location sensor override for the trunk height like there is for the suspension. "Yes, I know it's a bit low in here but you'll be OK. Just open the trunk all the way please."

 

[pattersj]

Exactly. Sounds like there is no fix.

Just curious… for those who say this doesn’t work… did you hear the confirmation beep after the long hold of the button? And did you immediately close and reopen?

I did hear the confirmation beep but I did not immediately close and reopen.

So would backing into the garage so that the door is not overhead help?

I believe the Model X doesn't have trunk height adjustment from the beginning—2017 MX owner. I had Model S/3/Y, and all models have trunk height adjustments.
