My doors started groaning also.
RE: Door Issue..
Ranger came on site to diagnose my door sensors. Let me say first of all that he was very nice and I appreciate his effort. He was very enthusiastic about Tesla and spent a lot of time looking into the doors. Since he was unable to reproduce the issue outside, he ended up leaving with the conclusion that my doors/sensors were working 'normal' and that the failures were due to the 'environment' around the car.
However...
The day I first picked up the car it was warm in the service center. Didn't seem to have any issues with the doors. After I left I drove 60 miles+ during 0F outside. Doors failed the first time I opened them after I got back. And the doors failed very frequently during the first week (really cold temperatures) but seemed to work a little more reliably after having it in my heated garage for a while. Coincidentally, it was fairly nice outside when the ranger was on-site. Plus, the doors seem to be working much better recently in the warmer weather.
My wife and I have both had to force override the doors many times to get the kids in and out -- even when we parked with no cars around us!
On Christmas Eve, my in-laws watched my Model X fail the holiday easter egg show 5 times (moved the car 3 different times, all outside, with absolutely nothing near the car.
My garage has 6+ ft of clearance on each side of the car and 9 ft tall ceilings. The doors will fail occasionally in the garage when parked. Ranger concluded that outlets on my walls 6-9 feet away from the car (on both sides) are causing problems with the sensors in my doors while parked in the garage. Is that possible? It's not even close to the car!
I just don't buy it that my sensors are actually working properly. I'm really happy my doors are currently working well, but I'm afraid the problem is still there and when it gets cold again (or some other unknown variable changes) it will rear its ugly head once more...
Or perhaps, maybe when the ranger checked all the sensor connections it inadvertently fixed a loose wire....
