Model X 2024 w/ out USS front doors now seem to fully open up?!?...
...over a full year later, March 2024, and the problem is still the same.
Disappointing for a premium model.
But then why was the feature not disabled on older models? I've heard it's only on the newer models without ultrasonic sensors, no?In defense of Tesla, the problem, apparently, was that occasionally (for various reasons--maybe the sensors become obstructed, somehow?) the driver's door would hit objects (e.g., another car parked too close to the driver's side or perhaps nearby vegetation?), causing minor damage. So they have reduced the opening angle from 20°-45° down to just 10°, so the driver can now more safely open the door manually the remainder of the way. Not a perfect solution, I know, but perhaps understandable?

That's great!
I like how he doesn't say what version it is. Still unchanged for me on 2024.8.7
Yeah unfortunately (I hope Im wrong) I don't think Tesla vision, even with software updates, will ever replace the ability of ultrasonic sensors. At least not with the current camera models and current placement. Maybe on a future redesigned X. As it's already been two years since USS was removed from bumpers on other models to save money, and the basic parking vision is still bad. I would imagine X auto opening doors are an even lower priority.My excuses on behalf of Tesla are at an end. I have no answers to your reasonable questions.
Yes, my (December 2020 production date) driver door is still opening up as before (although I do not yet have the latest software with v12 FSD).
The good news is that the electrical-mechanical ability for the door to open automatically is still there, apparently. So a future software update could correct things, I hope.

All joking aside, the cheapening (my word) of Tesla cars worries me. But this probably happens to most new companies, as after the brand takes off they start looking for ways to maintain/increase profits, cut costs, and please stockholders.
What annoys most of us is that they could have easily just left the sensors on just the driver side doors and skipped the passenger doors. It is mostly used for drivers so they could have left them on there. They left them on the falcon wing doors so they know it is important but they just chose to cut costs dramatically.My excuses on behalf of Tesla are at an end.

Anyone else see this behavior? I do not.
I checked out Reddit as well, seems fake. Same guy has said he got a call from Tesla to say his X delivery is delayed due to line switching to incorporate front camera bumpers but then admitted he took delivery of a car without them.Anyone else see this behavior? I do not.
2024 MXP on FW 2024.3.6 (FSD 12.3.2.1)
There were never any sensors on the driver or passenger doors. Case in point: If you parked next to a pole that was by your driver's door, the doors would hit the poll (ask me how I know!) They were relying on the falcon door sensors to detect things such as vehicles. Here is an old YouTube video which explains the falcon wing (only) sensors on the Model X:What annoys most of us is that they could have easily just left the sensors on just the driver side doors and skipped the passenger doors.

I'm pretty sure it used a combo of the falcon sensor and the front lateral bumper sensor to make the determination. Which did still leave a pretty big blind spot as you note. That front lateral sensor is gone on newer cars, so they disabled the self presenting altogether.They were relying on the falcon door sensors to detect things such as vehicles.
