    Falcon Wing Door sensor reliability?

    Yeah my passenger side FWD started doing that too. Maybe half a dozen times in the last few weeks. Kinda embarrassing when your walk away thinking it closed and someone stops you to ask if it's supposed to be that way. ("Uh...yeah...for cooling, like venting your sunroof." ;-) One time though...

    Falcon Wing Door sensor reliability?

    I hope that fixes it for you outie. Keep us updated. A couple months ago I had reported my driver side FWD was fixed by a sensor replacement. But as things have been getting warmer the issue has slowly been coming back, popping up on occasion. Turns out with the heat this last week the issue...

    Falcon Wing Door sensor reliability?

    Our new X (midnight silver, built mid March) had this issue on the driver-side falcon wing door. We stopped by the Sunnyvale SC on a sunny day to show them the issue. They got us in for service the next week and replaced the sensor. I'm not sure if they did more but they definitely replaced the...

    Model X Signature Configuration has begun!

    Yeah, I was having similar thoughts. Also, is LATCH required for these 2nd row seats? Even if the 3rd row meet the legal requirements (?) I would be disappointed without it being in the 2nd row. That said, the renderings make it a bit hard to see where it would be given that the seat back...

    fire safety dilemma

    Yes, the Nest Protect does exactly this. For a smoke detector it's not cheap but seems like a good solution for you.

    Car would not wake up!!

    Similar happened to me once in mid-October. This was when I was still on 4.5 (so pre-sleep mode). I came back to my car after a round of golf and no response from the dash or center console. I tried rebooting both and the dash came back but had some error about the center console (not 12V if I...

    Paint problem or super birds?

    I've actually been thinking the same thing lately. I had several on mine. Tesla tried to polish them out but some seemed to come back (and I seemed to keep finding new ones). However, lately I just haven't noticed them. Either I'm getting used to them or they've been disappearing. I almost...

    Regen gave me some miles back!

    These replies basically touched on my a couple of my views of this. I'm mostly curious if this is purely a software smoothing to avoid jumping between numbers (as deonb posited) or if it's some measurement accuracy/precision issue or even loss of accuracy in the software (or could be some...

    Regen gave me some miles back!

    Took my first trip down to Santa Cruz in the S today. I was hoping to see regen give me some miles back on 17. On the way down there the mileage just stayed the same so I was a little disappointed. However, on the way back I did get some miles back. The weird part was that it didn't just...

    Firmware 4.5

    I got the update notice today. I'm especially looking forward to the fan fix, though I've noticed the handle timing issue as well. Glad to see they're prioritizing fixes over features.

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    It seems like after 4.5 it sometimes takes longer to decide when to revert back to headlights off for me. I think it takes 30 sec to a minute, but it eventually does for me. What's weird is that coming out of my garage it's immediate, out of the garage at work though it has this delay. It may be...

    Firmware 4.5

    I installed 4.5 yesterday. Noticed the fan behind the display is now humming away as others mentioned. Mine's not too loud, only really bothers me during pauses in the music. Still wouldn't mind having the silence back. Otherwise, I noticed that my homelink location radius has increased by...

    Panoramic roof creaking noise.

    The fix for mine has lasted for a couple months now. Mine started because there was too much adhesive from the factory install which grabbed hold of the weather stripping and took it out. Just putting the stripping back myself did not fix the constant creaks, but the Menlo Park service center...

    Very important tax related question !!! Tax time !!!!!

    Call ownership experience and request all the docs. I did when filling out my CA rebate and noticed that I didn't have the countersigned version of any of the docs we went through during deliver (including any copy of my due bill). In about 1 minute I had an email with everything.
