Have you attempted to reset the calibration per the instructions described in this excellent post from @ohmman ?

Yes, but the part about the door always opening from the inside doesn't seem to apply to me

Yes,I have the identical problem.The SC diagnozed it as a faulty latch.They have ordered the latch - I take it in next week to get it fixed. I don't know what they did but they were able to tweak something that told the system the door is closed, and hence no more blaring alarm bells. They told me this is a temporary fix and will last only as long as I don't open the door again. They offered to loan me a Model S but I declined since they were able to turn off the warning alarm. I could live with not opening the passenger door for a few days.

Great. I will most likely do the same thing. Don't want to stop driving this amazing car!

There is no reason to stop driving it, nor even waste time at the SC.
The car has 4 doors and the trunk - so there are 4 other ways a person can get into the front seat. That is why this extra redundancy was built into the car. Live. The. Vision.
We had the same issue. Called the SC. They ordered a new door latch, installed it, now it works perfectly.
I enter and exit through the falcon wing doors anyway. Feel that it's more dramatic that way.
I have had this issue couple of times. First time when I took delivery a month ago - they said they needed to replace the latch and replaced it. Took an hr to fix. Happened again a week ago. Took it to the service center and they fixed it in about 5 mins. They said they reset the doors. I asked how and they said not recommended for customers as they pulled a few fuses out and put them back!!

Same here. The first time they just reset the computer, but it happened again and again and finally they figured it was the latch. So if they tell you it's the computer, it's not. Many Xs have this issue and it needs for the latch to be replaced.

I think i have the door problems more often than most people on this forum. The X is in SC again to fix doors. They are still waiting to find out the reason why it's so problematic.

Again! Must be a hassle to visit the service center weekly or do they come over to pick up your X?
They need to get you your replacement X already, they are lucky to have a customer like you.

This is the 11-13 times I have been to SC. I lost count already. I got two loaners already, first time white Model S 60 KWH, second time red Model S P85 which I got yesterday. The second loaner is by far the nicest. Well, my model x is truly one of a kind. The quality is just better than the youtube video we saw and hated so much. The overall quality of my X if I to rate it will be 3.5 out of 10. It is what it is. I am less involved with the forum now due to the lack of confidence with my X. Felt great for other owners who got a flawless X, felt extremely sad for myself for having a very troublesome yet severe misaligned X.

Ouch for 3.5/10 and 13 times at the SC! Do you live close to the SC? I couldn't imagine going their weekly due to issues even though I live about 12 miles away but traffic on the 55 is always horrible.
Looks like they need to expand or relocate the Costa Mesa service, when I went about a month ago to pickup my Wall Connector they seemed to be very crowded.

But I guess I shouldn't be complaint, I am only 15 miles from SC while others are 150 miles
