not sure what concept of safe you are referring to. It certainly isn’t wise. For a number of reasons you might have to take a long unexpected trip and you can’t because your battery has two percent. emoji winks won’t help you in those situations.It is safe to drive in the familiar hood with low charge, I aim to get home with 2%
A big benefit of EVs is that you can have a “full tank” pretty much all the time by just plugging in every night. no reason not to do that and lots of reasons not to drive around winking at 2%

I'm not a fatalist. In such a situation I can take a taxi or rental or borrow a neighbor's car. The wink meant that I do this rarely enough not to worry about it.
2% is fine as as it is also good for the battery to calibrate some times. Also for fast supercharging stops on trips it is most optimal to start at low SOC.

Driver door port hole window trim cracked- replaced
Rear passenger port hole window interior weather stripping 2 inch bulge sticking out- repaired
Front drivers and passengers vertical weather stripping fell off(interior near hinges) repaired
Passenger front window attempts to close upon closing vent function but opens leaving about 6 inch opening- windows recalibrated by mobile tech- problem still there- new appt at a sc- they want to replace regulator/motor.
Thank you to all who participate in this site- VERY helpful to me

Both front door weather striping and one rear door was ultimately replaced because the glue failed.
Alignment of the roof glass on the falcon wing doors was off causing the center seals to buckle funny. They ultimately replaced the glass on both.
A couple of rear most side window (the part that doesn’t open) trims became loose at different times and were reattached.
Overall pretty darn happy (Knock on wood!)

Passenger window not closing after toggling vent-one mobile and one sc and still happening
Since software update 2023.26.9 our window automatic close no longer works. It was working fine before. DH read something about Tesla increasing the sensitivity on the automatic closing (some safety recall??) so that change broke it for us. Both passenger and driver door windows. Didn't bother with the back row - probably the same.
No problem with manually closing the windows or the small amount the windows open for the doors to open and then close again. That works fine thank goodness. So the car is operable and lockable.
But it's annoying. Surely we aren't the only ones? If this is rare I'll report it to the local service center.

Have you tried recalibrating the windows? (I think there is a procedure in the service mode, but the old way was to press and hold to lower for ~15 seconds after it went down, and then raise it and hold for ~15 seconds after it was up.)
DH found a video on the service mode for recalibration. I guess we’ll try that.
Has anyone had problems related to this YouTuber? A German mechanic complaining about the uniball joint and even the quality of the grease. Mechanic shows why Tesla Model X Plaid may fail inspection in Germany after just 10,000 miles

Thanks for sharing the images. I hope so. With 3 Tesla vehicles to date going back to 2016, I have not seen anything like these.Do the current Model X which are being delivered now look better in these places? Here are pictures of my Model X Plaid,

I rejected an MXP VIN last month (~8/20 build date) for this exact issue where the A-pilar meets the hood, fender, and door. So unfortunately it's still an issue on some builds.Do the current Model X which are being delivered now look better in these places? Here are pictures of my Model X Plaid,

nope, Tesla is still throwing in the "panel gap package" free of charge on majority of the X's. It's a hit or miss.Do the current Model X which are being delivered now look better in these places? Here are pictures of my Model X Plaid,

Tesla tried multiple times to fix my FWD alignment but kept saying it was within spec and that it could never be perfect and the best they could do is split the difference between adjacent panels. The last adjustment they made to anything was the right front door which was undeflush with the FWD at the top of the panel. They adjusted the door strike to bring it out so it was flush with the middle/top of the FWD but overflush with the bottom.
I was able to achieve perfect panel gaps and alignment once I realized the root of nearly all the errors starts at the front fenders. Once I realigned those, everything else fell into place including the front doors and finally the FWDs......just in time to surrender as part of the buyback settlement. It had lots of other ongoing issues with the vehicle itself, so combine that with the fact that I got my purchase price and not the new $50K lower price, I was happy to be rid of it.
Still, in all, I spent about 40 hours on panel re-alignment most of which was FWD strut and hinge disassembly. Even bought a shop hoist like the one on the FSM to support the door with the struts removed.
man you are a trooper on trying to get the gaps fixed! Sucks you had to give it up though. For the best I assume. Mine are not bad, maybe its bc I close my eyes when I walk up to my car or just look at the ground when approaching the vehicle LOL. Jokes aside, they don't bother me as much anymore as I looked at my other cars and noticed the same. I was never trained to look for this stuff until I decided to purchase a tesla. Now all of my cars has panel gaps except for my bicycle.

My Nov '23 build panel gaps were very good except for the right side trunk hatch which was a little higher than the quarter panel when closed and the strip on the roof that separates the FWD and hatch lid was a bit off kilter. Everything else matched up pretty well. The door handles between the front passenger doors and the FWD lined up perfectly on both sides so there was no scoliosis of the door handles.
