Falcon doors sensor problem

[Oceanwolf]

2016 Model X. Last summer I noticed that if sun hitting on the falcon door, it thinks there is an obstacle and shows red. It is interesting that it happens to either door as long as there is sun exposure. I had a similar problem when the car was only a year old and it was happening always on the right side door. At the time the ranger said the heat from the sun makes the mount to sag and causing the sensor error. A couple of weeks ago, I took her to the service, they said they replaced both of the sensors. We just happened to have sun again today, and it was showing as if there is an obstacle. I’ll need to reopen the ticket. Did this happen to anyone?

I understand vehicles in dark paint have this problem. Correlation?

We have had this issue on and off for our white as well for the last 6 years.

Exactly the same with a red X 2019 Raven.

When the door thinks there is an obstacle, it refuses to open unless you override with a lot of complaints etc. I'll try again to check with the SC, I hope they don't mess up something else while trying to fix it. I am running out of my extended warranty.
