@vandacca I believe he was referring to the FWDs and how they sense obstacles. This seems to be an malfunction/mechanical failure that is beyond SW.
Really disappointed to hear this is still an issue. I do wonder how many people/what percentage of delivered Xs are experiencing door latch issues. If you read the forums, you'd think it is more than 50%, but I think it's probably under 10%. However, anything more than a one off issue is not acceptable, especially at this point.
I don't know if I buy the 10% thinking. I have followed these forums 7 days a week for years and have read just about anything that is written here regarding the X. I thought for sure my May 2016 build with a vin just shy of 5,000 would exclude me from what I believed to be a one off thing as well. In fact Elon's whole being on the production finish line, sleeping bag, and perfect build X comments coincided with my build period. I even tell friends, Elon likely laid eyes on this one. My latches should very well have been the "newly designed" latches that some here have been told about.
I believed it was a small percentage early on, but being impacted by it at this point in the game makes me think differently.
The car is amazing, makes me sad I have to drive something else back home for 6 hours. It handles and drives effortlessly unlike anything else I've ever driven but man from day one and every single time I approach the car I can't help but feel is today the day that everything I read about comes to fruition?
Well that day came last time.
