I'm beginning to wonder if one of the first things people should try before anything else is to shutdown the X and power it back up in 10-15 minutes later. If these are software issues it could be something like a memory or buffer problem.

It's kinda funny that everybody was all worked up about the FWDs being too complicated and then it turns out to be the much more normal front does that are having issues.
Well, they're both having issues. I haven't had front door issues but have had (and am still having) plenty of falcon wing issues.

What??? I thought you have no door problems at all, just the truck rattling? No? You freaked me out!

Sometimes (happened 3 times) the passenger door does not want to close from the touchscreen, the door stops a couple inches from the closed position so I have to manually close it. It began after my car got detailed this weekend because of the vandalism.
I have an SC appointment to fix that annoying rattle sound from the rear hatch so I will have them look into this. Also, I got a couple of missing screws that I noticed underneath the car next to the hitch.
The door is not really an issue, the issue is that rattle sound!! Also, road noise in general seems to be 5-8% higher than my Acura on the freeway, and same goes with ride quality (shocking!!!) should I mention this???
This will be my 2nd SC appointing since Tesla did not resolve the rattle sound issue in the first appointment even though they said they did

I c. I really hope Tesla put an end to the door issue. There are generally these big issues that needs to be completely fixed:
1. Doors
2. Windows
3. Alignments
Those are general areas Tesla really need to focus on.
Hope you get your rattling part fixed, and doors also.
Update on my issue. The service center said my latch hardware was failing and needed to be replaced. So for people who are experiencing the same issue as me I'm not sure I buy the fact that this is a software only issue and can be fixed with a door reset. Especially given the fact that a few people have reported having the issue reoccur after the SC does a door reset.
I wish they would have preemptively replaced the drivers side door latch for me as well so I don't always have to have this feeling of not knowing when it's going to fail in the most awkward of places.
Bought a Model X, delivered a week ago. VIN 56XX, so pretty well into production run. 4 days after delivery (200 miles driven, or less), driver's door won't latch shut. Loaded on flatbed, replaced with a Model S P85 (which is amazing). $106K and a latch that won't shut renders the car useless.

I had a latch problem with just a 100mi on my X. Interestingly, the tech said it has to do with condensation getting into the latch mechanism. Makes sense in my case because I was washing my car and the driver's side door failed to latch.
I have a recent VIN, 7xxx so I thought I had the newest latches.
Anyone else have the correlation between the car being wet and the latch failing?

maybe i missed the post in here,, any update on you door problem ? is it fixed for good ? same thing just happened to my x today..yes,, and it happened while i was showing the car to a good friend .. so not a good timing..
anyway, with summer trips coming up , im wondering how many days needed to get this fix ? will sc sent some one to me or i need to drop off the car ? thank you
Just to clarify, did the SC advisors say the latch issues affected 5 out of 100 drivers - or that they'd replaced the latch for 5 out of 100?
If the latter, I wonder what the figure of latch issues solved with software resets or other means might be - especially if they were extremely knowledgeable about them? Could be a significantly higher number than rare latch replacements they seem somewhat reluctant to do, no?
Yes it seems like these door latches always break in the most embarrassing moments.
In my case it took one day to get the latch fixed. I think this was because they already had the part in stock at my SC though. I also live very close to the SC here so I just brought the car in and they gave me a loaner for the day.
thank you
thank you so much,, on my way to SC , they wont tell me how long to get it done,, need to see the car first,, ,,, i guess my 6 weeks honey moon with mx is over .. this kind of cast shadow in my mind,, from now on when i showing or help Tesla promote MX ,, or even just going out some where ,,, maybe i have to pray first..lol
My vin 75xx driver's door latch just failed this morning. Went to get in the car to go to work and door would not open. I could open it from the inside latch but not the outside one or the key fob or the app. If I manually close it, it latches with about 5 mm of door offset from the outside.
I tried all the reset stuff and then called the service hotline and did all their stuff but no change. Now have to get the latch replaced. Sadly it is 400 km to Vancouver so have likely have to pay the transport for the tech to come out or else take a day off to drive there.
Just posting this in case our MXs start to have latch problems beyond the initial run. Have had mine for 6 months with trivial issues aside from front half shaft replacement for the acceleration judder (much better now).
