Alright folks
I think this thread might be very helpful to people with Model X front door latch problem. Just took delivery of the X back from SC after 34 days of total fixings in SC. By the time I inspect the door, the door has replaced with the newest latch from Tesla. Driver side door still got confused for one time today. I think I just found out why:
It does not matter if the auto present door is on or off
1. Do not manually close the driver side door partially, meaning you only hear one soft click. I found if you do this, and try to open the door by pulling the handle, driver door latch confuses.
2. If door has opened, you think it's not opened wide enough, do not close the door right back manually and reopen it just to test the latch so you can reach your desired opening angle. Doing so might confused the door latch as well. You need to either fully open the door or completely shut the door. Nothing in between. Ignore the angles.
Lastly, do not play around with your front doors. If the door is open, do what you need to do and close it completely with the electric button (Do not do so manually). Do not be OCD like me try to make sure door opens perfectly to my desired angle. Remember always open completely and close completely with electric button and handle, do not close the door manually.
This is what i found out today after taken the X back and I am now officially not nervous anymore. I think I found out the pattern on how to open the front doors without problems. Again exceptions may apply for some people. So far it's doing pretty well, driver door just shakes ever so slightly when closing.
Thanks, hopefully I can help some other X owners out who might have the same front door latching problem.
