Well, I guess you're right- the Mona Lisa does have a bit of a crooked/cracked and uneven smile. Every time I see these open on a car, they rarely look evenRemoving it would be like wiping the smile off the Mona Lisa.

how well did this one sell?It would be like taking the gull wings of a GullWing Mercedes.

It would not be the same car.
Not just bigger, but a smoother ride with air suspension.X<>Y. X much bigger. Y is too small for my family.
another moving part Tesla realized was more trouble (and problematic) than the functionality it provided. Switched to a fixed spoiler.. Notice a pattern?On a somewhat related topics of redesign, I wish the aftermarket vendors would catch up and redo the rear wing to be adjustable once more and far reliable
and doesn't have a single tiny 15" screen trying to display entirely too much info that requires 15/15 eyesight to be able to read the tiny text.Not just bigger, but a smoother ride with air suspension.
Here's another thought to consider:
Pretty much everyone who bought a MX would have still bought that vehicle without the FWDs. Chances are they were buying the car because of other attributes, and the FWDs were either a +/-, but it wouldn't have stopped them from purchasing the car without them.
However, there are many like me that will not buy the MX specifically because of the FWDs. Therefore, I firmly believe the decision to put FWDs on the vehicle has actually negatively impacted their ability to sell as many cars as they could have without them.
No, the option to always open fully doesn't completely override the sensors, so in a tight garage, they still won't open all the way. I'm 6'1" and I drive my vehicle, in the front seat. On the rare occasion where I need access to the middle row, I have no problem holding the button to open one all the way, which I can do in my garage (the other side really can't be accessed in the garage front or rear). When I'm loading the whole family, I usually just back it out of the garage using summon and then it's super easy access all around. Dealing with child safety seats would be a nightmare without the FWDs, and TBH, if the X didn't have FWD, I'd probably prefer a Pacifica plug in hybrid for real head and leg room on weekends but an EV experience on my daily commute.Yes. I had a fully loaded P100D for several days back when Tesla used to give loaners (consistently) when your car was being serviced. I parked it in the garage, hit the button to open up the doors, and they opened drooping downward (not fully upward) because the sensors thought they would hit the roof when they had plenty of room. I'm 6'3" and ducking under a droopy FWD or forcing it to open each time sucks. I think they later added a SW update to make the car "remember" when you wanted them to open fully, but since this was loaner, I didn't want to risk that SW setting being "sticky" and them opening up in an area where they really didn't have the clearance they needed.
To me they're slow to open, slow to close, gaudy, and a perfect example of over engineering. Now that it's VERY difficult to get service to fix anything well (or get an appointment or a loaner) I would never would to have anything that could be a high maintenance item on my car... and these are definitely that.
At this point, the X's FWD are not the vehicle's Achilles heel...the parts are now solid and fail infrequently.
The remaining issues for me that would stop a new purchase (damn 371 miles are unbelievable) are shudder and the fact that the new seat's headrests are too far forward.
Pretty well for the time 1956 and it's the price ($10,000, more than a nice suburban home). They run $1.2 Million today.how well did this one sell?
I don't either, but most adults I have carried find getting in and out with FWDs easier, except in height-restricted spaces.I take it the OP doesn't have young kids.
Completely agree that they make entering and exiting easier. I just hate the attention it grabs.I actually like the FWDs. They make it easy to get in and out of the back.
I wouldn’t buy my Model X without FWD.Here's another thought to consider:
