I'm back with a new video of problems with my 2016 Model X. Now I am getting a warning that my charge door port is malfunctioning. To make matters worse, this causes an INABILITY TO CHARGE MY MODEL X!

You do realize that parts on ALL cars occasionally fail???... Apparently not since you're so invested on making sure EVERY problem you have, perceived or real, is brought to our attention... Granted we know why, it's to give you leverage with Tesla as you have admitted in the past but for the love of...

Your comment is rude and presumptive. I have already filed my lemon law arbitration against Tesla and, despite all of the problems with my car, the arbitrator determined that I did not own a lemon. Now I am just keeping an ongoing diary of my problems. Letting people know about the problems they might face when buying a Tesla is all I am interested in.

Cute attempt to minimize a problem by saying "all cars occasionally fail". Here are all my videos if you need a reminder of the multitude of problems I have had.Right... How noble of you...

Taking a page from your hero's playbook? "Everyone's saying..."; "All cars occasionally fail"
Haven’t heard from you for a while. I thought you were already taken care by Tesla and got a NDA or something.
I am about to go through lemon law myself depending on the outcome of the current service visit.

The same thing happened with my 3 month old Model X. I had it in for it's 2nd service visit and 23rd service item being fixed. Went to pick it up and they said when they went to do the final charge before handing it back they realized the charge port door had failed and that they couldn't charge the car so I had to go home without my car.
Yes, parts do occasionally fail but we need to help keep Tesla accountable. We as customers need to let them know of these problems so they are aware and can improve. Tesla is not all-knowing, Tesla is not perfect. I'm not disparaging the company but we as early adopters should be doing our part to help improve their processes.
Jeff, there's no need to be rude. He is well within his right to post about the issue here.

I have a December 2016 Model X with a squeaky window that took four trips to the SC to get it down to the point where I will probably live with it. What they did this last time was to repair (replace???) the chrome to address specific spots that were causing the squeak as it rolls up. Now, I still have a more minor problem only at the top, so it is not that lengthy squeaking you get. I would recommend looking at the chrome and the weather sealing all around when you bring it back to the SC.
After an OTA update, I had the charge port issue. You've probably tried depressing the thumbwheels on the steering wheel, but my issue went away and didn't return.

Oh wow, arbitration denied? That's kind of unexpected. I think that does not preclude the next steps according to TN lemon law?
Still you at least have your car, Tesla agreed to repurchase mine, took the car back and... I am still waiting for that check two weeks later...
Yeah, I did not go past the arbitration phase because I'm lucky and have an RVG on my X, so Tesla has to buy it back at year 3 if I want, which is what I'll be doing. I still love Tesla, and I'll be getting another Tesla in 1.5 years. I'm just upset that they are not focusing on quality control while at the same time bragging about drive in theaters at charging stations.

I too had window regulator issues when I bought the car. I just went with it, never got it fixed, now it makes absolutely no noise...
Be patient with the car, sure it won’t fix itself, but there is a warranty for a reason.
Best car I’ve ever owned, not the most luxurious, but definitely the best

I have owned nine new cars besides the X. None one save one (a MINI Cooper S) have had problems requiring warranty service within the first three years. The MINI's issues were very minor (a failed sensor).
My first X, on the other hand, was a straight up nightmare. Fortunately, the newer versions are much better.
