FWD Stuck Open

[BBradac9]

Yesterday when my son was opening the FWD it stopped about 6 inches open and wouldn't go up or down. Said obstacle detected. Now it's asking to recalibrate but when I do the door is offset and hitting the outside of the car. It appears the lower section of the door is not pivoting out as usual.

I don't have an X, saw this on the current threads, but was curious.

Is there a way to manually close the door? You know, get it back to a reference starting point (it seems like it's actuating like it's supposed to be in a different opening state).

I'm sure some X owners will chime in, I've just always been fascinated by this particular design element of the MX

As far I can tell there is no way to manually close the door. I can move the door up and down but the second pivot point I believe is actuated by torque screws and not sure those can be overridden.

Tesla mobile is due out in about an hour and hope they can at least get the door closed so the car can be used while I wait for parts etc.

Please keep us posted. It’s hard to believe there isnt a manual override to close the rear doors. On another note, Im in Bham as well!

They removed all the actuators for the lower section of the door to be able to hand lower and close it. Mobile said they don’t know what happened but at least we can drive the car to a service center now.
