Where is outside air temperature sensor on Model X?

[BizJet]

I'm curious about the outside air temperature readings that I get on my Model X, which has me wondering where and why the sensor is placed.

I find it strange that I only seem to get accurate outside temperature readings: 1.) after couple-minute delay; and 2.) when the car has been moving at least 10-20 mph for a couple of minutes.

What is it about the placement of the temperature sensor that makes it so slow to react to changes in temperature (such as coming out of a heated garage into the cold) and makes temperature often go UP when the car stops for awhile, such as at a long traffic light?

Anyone know where the temperature sensor is, and why Tesla put it where they did?

Pretty much all the cars I have owned with an outside temperature display have behaved similar to what you describe.

I do not know where the temp sensor is located.

I have asked this question at service centers and no one seemed to know.

At the MS it`s places behind the upper "grill/vent" down at the right corner.It`s hidden behind the bumper pointing out in the airflow. Would assume it`s the same by the X.
