Falcon wing door - how to get them fully opened (from the outside)

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Question for Model X owner.

Is there a way to "force" a falcon wing door to fully open, when you are accessing from outside of the vehicle?

Long press on the door handle? double, triple tap?

In many cases, there is plenty of space to fully open but it will only go halfway, we need to press again to fully open.

TIA

Check this setting:

You can configure Model X to open the falcon wing doors to a lower height setting by using the touchscreen (Controls > Locks > Falcon Door Height).

If it's in specific locations:
When Model X detects a low ceiling (for example, in a garage), it opens the falcon wing doors (and trunk) to a lower height, even if no obstacle is detected. You can override this height and open the doors higher by touching the associated door icon on the touchscreen (Controls). The touchscreen displays a message asking you if you always want to open the doors to the higher height at this location, and saves your choice. The next time you open the falcon wing doors at this location, Model X opens them to the height you saved.

If the door is partially open, the only way to override any height limitation from outside the car, is to reach inside the B pillar and hold the open button. That is basically the same as holding the open button on the screen.
