For reference, the 2016 Audi Q7 is 87" from mirror edge to mirror edge. The body itself is 77.4" wide.

I posted those two in the wiki, thanks for the reply!
I still can´t imagine that happening - isn´t there a way to try it without any risk, like opening the front door just a bit manually, holding it there being ready to move it out of the way and then opening the FWD?
The guy in the post I linked said
and his whole post seemed to me like he was collecting negative stuff and partially even making it up.

I wish my wiki answer on the doors not colliding when opened simultaneously had not been overwritten. I had this confirmed by Tesla. Confirmed. Just so that it does not disappear again, I will post here, and then will put back into the wiki answers.
CONFIRMED
Front door and falcon door are perfectly fine to open at the same time as the opening arc of the front door is tangent to the arc of the falcon door. The only thing to be aware of is that given the close clearance between the doors, one should be careful not to place one's hand on the outside edge of a closed or nearly closed front door while the falcon door is in motion and also nearing the closed position. Basic due-care that one would apply to similarly-sensitive areas of a conventional door near the hinge point or when nearly closed.

Not being an X owner, I am not going to make any edits to the wiki post in this thread, but reading the first question "What is the width and the length of the Model X?", it appears that the posted answer describes the ground clearance of the Falcon Wings, which is not the correct answer to the first question about exterior dimensions.
Also, in the ACRONYMS section at the top of the wiki it is unclear to me why this is listed; "fwd = front wheel drive", since there are no front wheel drive Teslas. Or was this done to discourage people from using fwd as an acronym for Falcon Wing Doors?
I suggest that in that section it show "FWD = Falcon Wing Doors" since that is a convenient acronym when discussing the X.

Thanks! Sad people go so far as overwriting posts.
It's not sad, but it can happen when two (or more) people are editing the same Wiki at the same time. The second person's response will automatically overwrite the first person's saved post.

Yes, of course that can happen. But that is not what happened in this case. My post was out there for several hours and was replaced with conflicting (and incorrect) information.

I've added the following two questions:
Q: Are the front seats heated without getting the cold-weather package?
Q: How does the standard HI-FI sound and what are the speaker configurations (i.e., without the upgraded option)?

Regarding the question of how the standard audio system "sounds" is too subjective to be included in a wiki, which is for documented, factual information.
Describing the location and types of the standard speakers and the optional speakers is factual information and should be in the wiki.

I've sent you a private message, what you are posting is incorrect. The DS are incorrect. They're not technical and somehow this information has spread within their ranks. I hate to see it spread here.

sweet, glad to know you can put 19" wheels on the Model X
265/50/19 (same load rating as 20")
275/45/20 (same load rating as 19")
285/35/22 (reduced load rating)
Note that is for rear tires only.
The 20" OEM setup is staggered with
Front:265/45R20 108H XL
Rear: 275/45R20 110H XL
The 22" OEM setup is staggered with
Front: 265/35ZR22 102W XL
Rear: 285/35ZR22 106W XL
I saw an owner video that had the Prielli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico on it so I'm assuming that is the OEM tire used but there may be more than one.
I'm assuming a 19" downsize would be to go to
265/50R19 110V XL on all four wheels in say the Scorpion Verde All Season Plus.

I added to the width measurements under Q: What is the width and the length of the Model X? that my "DS says the body width (mirrors detached) is 78.7 in (2 m) wide. Can a current owner confirm that width please?
