I have been lusting for a Tesla for years and exactly 12 months ago (and after convincing 2 people in the family to order S's over the years) I finally placed my order for an X. For years I have been reading both this forum and the other one over at Teslamotors on a daily basis. My brain is filled with so much of the ins, outs, goods and bads of Tesla that it can't possibly be healthy. Over the past five or so months as X's have been going into the hands of owners, I have been seeing a so many worrisome issues that make me cringe when I think about how it would play out if that were to happen with my hectic schedule.
My hope was by the time they make it to my vin #49xx most of the major issues would be resolved. I'm a little surprised that just after it seems of TM addresses one issue, another one seems to pop up (mostly recently double vision issue on windshields).
My X should go into production in the next week or two and I am seriously considering transferring my order to an S before it does.
My main concerns are the front door issues as well as FWD that refuse to open, get stuck or refuse to close (even on some recent 3/31/16 deliveries).
We have two small kids who will be in car seats in the middle row of our would be 6 seater. We drive 30,000 miles a year and would put this car through its paces immediately. In fact, my schedule is such that I would drive it to work at night (hours of my profession) and by the time I get home at sunrise and go to bed, my wife would drive the car for her daily errands, kids school runs, activities and such. If any of the doors fail during our busy schedules, or the car has to head back to the Service Center shortly after delivery it would be a major hassle on all of us.
We have had 2 Leafs since their inception and have committed to EV's and love everything about them. I want a long range EV that can haul the family and a car we can count on, on a daily basis. This is why we came to Tesla.
I know polls within these forums show 52% with no problems at all and that only accounts for the small percentage who actually report here. Sorry for my rant, but has anyone else here had any trepidations about their soon to be delivered X after seeing all of these reports?
Maybe I'm just afraid that my wife would kill me if we just spent 3x more on a car than ever before and it was anywhere as buggy as some of the owners are reporting here.
