Glad you got your X back and I totally feel you on closing the fwd on the kids.
I closed the FWD on my wife hitting her in the head. She was PISSED! But still let me keep the car...may not be the case if I did it on the kids.

How do I close the driver door automatically before she hops in? I'd like to tell her the car doesn't like the way she drives.

I am waiting to hear back from the delivery center. I did not notice it during delivery. I took the vehicle straight from the delivery center to have Xpel ultimate installed on the entire vehicle. The Xpel installer pointed it out to me. They have installed Xpel on a lot of Model X' s and he said it was normal. However I figured I would reach out to the delivery center and see what they had to say.
The bent trim and door gasket? Mine was back in service on Saturday and came back to me on Tuesday.
It went in Monday, got it back Tuesday. I would have had it back the same day, but there were other issues they had to address, and they finished too late in the day on Monday to valet it back to me.
The first reviews in the Netherlands were rather negative of the build quality. This video is in Dutch but at 7.51 you can see that the doors are not aligned Tesla Model X rijtest - ABHD auto video's
I guess it is around be an easy fix but not very clever from Tesla to give a "perfect" tesla for a reviewer. I heard similar complaints on a Dutch radio show today where they tested the Model X.

Took delivery about a week ago. Crawled all around and inside it and I was very happy with the fit and finish. Doors work well. While driving to work a couple of days later I hear a hissing noise from the front. I thought it might be the AC so I turned it off, but the hissing didn't go away. A few seconds later it stopped so I kept driving along. About a minute after I get a message that there is an error with the air suspension...
Take it in later that day. It's fixed the next day so I go to pick it up and then the air suspension failed 10 minutes away from the SC, and unfortunately after they had just closed. I found that to be particularly annoying but I'm over it.
It does have horrible ghosting. The X is my wife's car. I haven't told her about it because I'm hoping if she doesn't know about it she might not notice it. They really, really need a fix for the windshield.

Took Delivery 9/27 when I ordered end August, I was part of their Q3 push. During walkthrough, I did noticed a few issues. Most minor the but issues with the FWD is a little concerning. Due Bill was created and I'm taking it back to service 3 weeks after delivery (apparently the first appointment available). Most are minor issues - I can't help but think the Q3 production push did not help with some of the issues below. Some just seemed to be sloppy QC misses. The checklist was extremely helpful and would highly recommend using it when taking delivery.
FWD Passenger Side
- FWD handle trim not aligned to front door
- metal trim behind FWD door is bent outwards slightly
- FWD plastic on roof is bent outwards
- Lever button for passenger side FWD is a little loose (swivel left and right).
- FWD door making a squeaking noise right before it's fully closed.
- In general, the door looks not aligned (lower than it's supposed to be).
Driver Seat
- Wiring is exposed under seat
Passenger Seat
- plastic trim underneath seat is loose (not installed at all)
3rd row seat
- the seat in between the two seats are dirty
Detailing
- Rims not clean
- Frunk underside has smudges that cannot be cleaned
- 2nd row passenger side seatbelt buckle is dirty
- 2nd row driver side plastic sill on floor has smudges
- Tesla T on trunk has some minor vertical scratch lines
Windshield ghosting at night (but I have kind of gotten used to it after 4 days driving with it)

Picked up my X yesterday and was just about to write a post stating that the car was flawless. Lo and behold, this morning we discovered a crack in the roof glass of the left falcon wing. Sent pics to the service center and am awaiting its response. From others who have had similar issues,does the company try to get out of these issues by blaming an act of god or negligence on the driver's part, or has the company generally been responsive?
@NCEP: so what was that hissing noise? I do hear a noise like that coming under passenger side. It is heard for few minutes to hours even after vehicle is parked in the garage and/or during battery charging. It is very annoying.
I think the reflection of the building's ceiling is confusing the view there. Could be helpful if there was a picture without such a strong reflection like that.
The way the picture came out it almost looks like the building panels are inside the vehicle.

Ours was flawless at delivery. Sadly, issues are starting to arise. The glass in the driver's side front door 'closed' before the door itself did, slamming the glass into the chrome trim. Surprisingly, nothing broke or seems to have been irreparably harmed.
Today the driver's side FWD (the one used most often as the child seat is on that side) got caught on a piece of chrome trim and made a painfully loud snap that shook the door once it broke free. After closing and reopening, I could see where it got caught. The door sensed it this time and stopped, sighting an 'obstacle detected'. Overriding the door to close and reopening has yielded no such reoccurence, but the chrome trim piece appears to have been pulled out some.
Not terribly concerned given the warranty and folk's reports about Tesla's responsiveness, but still disappointing in an $85,000 vehicle.

MODEL X P100DL
Anybody else have headrests that rattle? I'm also curious if the "heat" is actually hot in the back 2/3 row?, or just warm is normal for max heat back there. My model S pushed much warmer air than the X, much faster from turn on.
