Just to correct your terminology (for when you reach out to Tesla): those are called "hot pixels" in the context of a camera sensor. And yeah I'd try to get it replaced.

I understand, just trying to figure out whether it's a defect affecting a batch of cars as @StrayTexel suggested, or if it's a design "feature" that's in all cars.
Interesting that Tesla issued a recall for a single Model X today: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2022/RCLRPT-22V264-2283.PDF
But most interesting is the resolution:
Apparently it isn't easy to add the reinforcement bracket at this point?

I'm being to think I got a lemon! Last week I noticed that the driver window on my 2022 Model X will not go all the way up or all the way down without holding the button. All the other windows work fine. Then, today I was washing my car and noticed a large crack on the passenger top FWD window. I didn't hit anything with it. I went to the Tesla SC today and they think it was a stress crack and are going to replace it. Has this happened to anyone else?

Day 3 with my first Tesla. I noticed as I pulled out to the driveway and with the sun shining bright, the left FWD said obstacle detected and wouldn't open from the screen. I had to walk out and open it from the outside. I pulled the car into the garage and the alert did not go away (red indicator by the door on the screen, and obstacle detected message). After opening and closing a few times manually from outside, the alert went away by itself.
Anyone else see this? Should I log a ticket? I am afraid since it is not reproducible, it may not help at all.

After my first visit to the SC…
Took all week because the lift pads were missing on my car, and they are unique to palladium.
“Re-torquing suspension to specs” seems to have cured the popping noises in the suspension. It also may have firmed up the steering, I need more driving to decide
Firmware update seems to have fixed restraint issue
I reported a rattle in the speaker grille, they couldn’t reproduce but found a missing clip in dash. Now my dash makes all kinds of noises and the rattle is worse. I can just knock on the yoke to cause it to rattle. Oh and I had to rent my own car all week.

Going to the SvC is like one thing fixed and multiple things broken. I avoid it like the plague.
Why wouldn't they be "toast" after the same amount of time of regular ownership?
Tesla Recalls a Model X Over a Missing Bracket, Will Replace the Vehicle
In production since 2015, the Model X still has plenty of issues, most of them originating from poor build quality. Take, for instance, the X we’ve covered only recently. Delivered in January, that car features loose third-row seats that may increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

This is not typical Tesla. That being said, Tesla is like 90% Model 3 and Y, which is why this is not typical Tesla. The 3 and Y are super optimized, mass produced, and practically flawless.
"Steering assist reduced" (UI_a020) error message.
I started receiving the above error message just after I updated to 2022.12.1 two weeks ago. I immediately scheduled a service appointment - in which there was a 30-day wait for the next available appointment. The error msg would pop up periodically even after the last few software updates and numerous full power-off reboots, but the power steering continued to operate.
When driving the vehicle today, the error msg popped back up again, but unlike the previous occurrences, the vehicle lost all power steering. I am having the vehicle towed to the local SC for (immediate?) service.
