Makes sense. However, when you walk towards the car from the front, the door only pops open slightly. Only when you walk up to it from the rear does it open wide (dictated by sensors).I also have 3 young kids. If they walk in front of me in the garage, they'd get scared by the self-present door when it pops open. If they walk behind me, they'd definitely get hit by the door

Non-PUP X Owners: Would You Upgrade to Self-Presenting Doors?
- Thread starter Maximus-MX
- Start date
yes, same as the filter. But the fog lights upgrade has not ever been offered, as far as I know.
It seems in order of easy to hard, the PUP features that could potentially be added as options are:
1) Self presenting doors - could probably OTA that feature
2) Biodefense - software plus installation of HEPA filter. I have installed a 3rd party filter myself and it takes 10 min.
3) Premium stereo - software plus installation of additional speakers. Mounting holes and brackets are already in place. I would bet the wiring is already in place too. If true, installation would probably be under an hour.
4) Subzero - not sure if these are upgradeable versus needed replacement parts.
5) Fog lights and LED lighting - I think these are standard for 2017 and later and also not sure if these are upgradeable.
Personally, I would only be interested in #2 and #3.

Then do #2 (Bio) & #3 (UHFS), but install times and costs all all yours. Nothing is easy probably.

Your not wrong my current car is 1890cm wide and gets a few, just apart of driving thankfullly 15EV Charger bays in work and only 6 RV owners in whole company so I may not feel the pain at work until we get more EVs our and about I’ll just park away from busy bits or do what bmw drivers do and take 2 spaces lol
Yes i would pay a reasonable amount for the self presenting doors functionality. I would actually turn off the self presentation function but would use the 'double click to open' function for the driver's side all the time.

Agreed. Can’t understand why they wouldn’t enable this either for a fee or for free. Really hoping they do — it’s just software!!

I just did a quick check on Amazon and also found the brighter interior lights for MX, and also the Tesla logo welcome LED door lights.
I thought the Abstract Ocean website was cheaper, especially if you but the whole set. Use this coupon, RTLPodcast (one word) and it should take 20% of your entire purchase.
I have PUP and absolutely love the self presenting doors & bio-defense mode. When I walk by not intending to get in the car, the door will still pop open. The nice part is if I walk away, the door will close itself and lock - kinda spooky but very cool!

I really like the idea of the Tesla Logo LED Door Lights... Is there a recommended one to use?
