Sensors on Model X Picking up non-existent objects?

[Product_Guy]

I was pulling out of a parallel parking spot today and my Model X started chiming like crazy, warning me that I was about to hit something. I got out of the car and didn't see anything that I was close to hitting. I got back in the car and started again and the same thing happened. I got out again and looked under the car and still did not see anything. I went ahead and pulled out and everything was fine, but the Model X kept chiming.

After I got on the road, it rapidly chimed again and showed ~8 cars on the dashboard screen all stacked on top of each other.

This was the front, right sensor. Any ideas why this happened? Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Man, that needed a pic to post! I think that also needs a call to the SC to have them look at the logs. May/probably is a bad sensor or something was reflecting weirdly?

I tried to get a picture of all the cars that popped up on the screen, but they went away fairly quickly. If it happens again I’ll try to get a picture.

I just talked to the service center (already had an appointment for Monday) and she just laughed and said it should be fine. She said it’s more than likely just a faulty sensor.

I assume they mean it's okay to drive until you bring it in, but that sure sounds weird. Don't try to drive through any other piles of eight cars!

I’ll try not to!! It was very weird. Maybe Elon added the ability to detect cars and objects in the “The Upside Down”.

I’ll update the thread once I get the car back from the service center.

@Product_Guy, you weren't following a truck hauling cars by any chance?

I was not - the ironic part was that wasn't a single car around me (of any kind!).

Ever heard of haunted cars?
