That is an awful story. They should not release a car if they are unable to repair it in a timely fashion.
A couple of questions:
1) Is TM assuming responsibility for the damage?
2) Are they providing you with a loaner vehicle?

1. Why should Tesla assume responsibility for the damage? The car did not do something it shouldn't, the car warned the driver that something was amiss and the driver ignored that warning.That is an awful story. They should not release a car if they are unable to repair it in a timely fashion.

I did not read the entire thread. For some reason, I thought it was a new thread that I just picked up. If there was a clear warning, that is a different matter. At the same time, this seems like a risky think to allow a door to open while moving.1. Why should Tesla assume responsibility for the damage?

They can't get away with that when the Model 3 comes out. I am hoping that this is just a matter of the complicated falcon wing doors.One of my biggest fears is damaging my X. If so, I know the wait to repair will be long.... It would be nice to have extra parts available. But alas, they all go to new builds.
Seems to me that you have a case against the county building inspectors for allowing such short garage door openings to be built!Or it's a San Diego thing.
This is really ironic that this problem occured only to two persons so close to each other.
Is there a Child Lock function of the FwDs? If so, maybe enabling the Child Locks would keep them from being opened under motion?Can you name a vehicle that prevents you from opening a door when in motion? If you can, I'm sure I can name 10 for each one you list that does allow it.
Seems there might be an opportunity or two to buy a 'salvage' MX in the near future. Maybe you could snatch one for future parts.One of my biggest fears is damaging my X.

While I was in traffic, a young person accidentally opened the FWD using the manual button because he thought it was the window button (first time in the car). Honestly, it shouldn't be possible for that to happen while it's moving no? Nothing happened, but I would like a way to disable it (like a child lock).
Anybody know if the child lock does the trick?
I went 6 weeks without a loaner and finally got one last week (an older stock S). Tesla has not yet confirmed that they will pick up the $18k cost for the repair but the local service manager is sympathetic and trying to get approval from corporate. But after 7 weeks and no confirmation I am beginning to lose hope on that too.
I can't even imagine what Tesla was thinking allowing the car to be put into D when the FWDs are open, and allowing the FWDs to open when one is already in D at low speeds. Tesla should have known this was a disaster waiting to happen, and that is why Tesla should cover the repair cost. This isn't like someone opening a normal door manually, where they can quickly close the door when they sense the car moving (because the driver didn't know the passenger had opened the rear door). These doors are mechanical and stick up over the height of the car, and do not close quickly. Nor is the "chime" easily distinguishable from every other ding, bing, and dong the car makes, and it isn't very loud either inside the cabin.So... you're telling me you don't have to be in park to open/close the rear doors?!
ParadesTell me when it would be a useful "feature" to have the car drive with the FWDs open!
