I have been down this part of 101/85 and have driven on both lanes depending on my destination. I ahve noticed that if I am heading out onto 85 S (left lane) and a car decided to illegally go back onto 101 S (staring lane behind the truck) way before this middle lane shows up, my X gets...

All pictures on pages 1 and 2 of this forum. All from Model Xs.

@EV-lutioin, I am so sorry to hear about the new windshield. Basically, from what we have heard on this forum, almost 100% of the windshields have the ghosting effects, and a smaller number have it at such higher levels that are just unsafe (personal experience). Until the issue is resolved...

Finally, the sunshade was delivered last night.

@Colby Boles, yes, that is correct. My original windshield was from the A series batch which in my case was defective. I am not saying all of the A batch windshields were defective, just that mine was. In order to reduce the chance of installing another defective windshield, most likely due to...

Just to be clear, it was not better than the others, on the contrary, it was just like the others. It was better than the defective one I originally got on the car. It doesn't cause eye fatigue (blurry effect) and one can get used to it. I am 100% happier and have zero complaint. It has...

@ Colby Boles, you are experiencing what I was experiencing. The irregularities within the windshweild cause the eye fatigue that makes things look a bit blurry and and in my scenario would cause a headache within 10 mins behind the wheel. Bad enough that I stopped driving the car for about a...

I still haven't received mine, despite getting an email a few weeks back. Called Tesla support and got a random useless answer, that basically said you'd receive it when we mail it to you! Did you guys receive yours after the email went out? Have had the car since the end of March. Thanks.

@ddep, if you have a Samsung with USB C, it will take a regular micro USB cord to charge.

@electracity I got mine replaced and the new one is much better, it is now what you have. It is not "perfect" but it is not unsafe. But I had a "defective" windshield on my model X to begin with. The original windshield had double/triple vision both at night and daytime. Both daytime and...

@neverdone, I rebooted the console a few times and it didn't fix the problem. Then as advised here, I cleaned the sides of the FWDs. There was some dust but not much so I didn't really expect any improvement but the problem stopped!. Hope it helps.

Just started having this problem on both doors 2 days ago. I have already reset /rebooted the display to no avail. It is so out of the blue on both doors that I feel a software release has introduced a bug detecting phantom objects! the car does it every time on both doors without any...

My car was affected by recall and it went for replaced last week. I didn't Ray to fold them down until recently and one seat would not fold down. Once it was pushed down, it took 2 people to push it back up right again. The motor would make noise and release the latch, but the seat would not...

My replacement windshield is E001244.... 16 (4 dots and 16). It got replaced in April/16, not 4th quarter of 2016! It is the B batch. My defective windshield had the A series batch number.

My VIN is 18XX. Got it at the end of Q1 during the rush.

I don't see any info related to the windshield serial number on it.

I have come to terms with the ghosting effect on my model X. It is the "irregularities" in the windshield that would make it unusable. My replacement windshield is so much better eventhough I still notice the double and triple ghosting effect, but it isn't even remotely distracting the...

My garage is in the back of the property and once you pass the gate, the clearance is around 2 ft wide on each side if not more. Summon doesn't work for me as I had hoped. My car almost hit the 6ft tall gate's post on a "tight'" setting option. So I had to drive it through the gate all the...

I had the same problem with summon yesterday. My garage is in the back of the property with a gate at the front. Using Summon, my car came so close to hitting the 6 ft tall post that I had to abort Summon. Using Summon, reversed it, and tried again. No go, it was hell bent on hitting the post...

100% agree with you, but apparently we are in a minority on this forum.

Tesla replaced my windshield as a goodwill gesture 10 days ago. The double /triple vision and ghosting effects did not vanish, what was noticeable was the fact that I didn't experience distraction/ headaches/ daytime glare and night time magnified scattering of the light that I had to deal with...

@greg t, based on all other posts, it seems that there will be some refraction/ghosting effect. The original issue we reported was an unsafe "magnified" ghosting/double/triple vision that was a defect. It seems Tesla has corrected that problem, which is really good news as it is not unsafe...

Depressing indeed. The first report of "double vision" problem was reproted in Dec-2015 for model S cars delivered in Germany, based on a link in this forum. I agree that for a car at this cost, one shouldn't settle for an inferior quality that is also a safety issue. I am surprised that your...

@Farnigus, if what you see at night looks similar to the pictures we have posted here, then I suggest you contact your local SC. If one has to look closely to notice the effect, then based on what others say, it is considered normal.

@rmiggins, From the CNET article: --- Tesla doesn't appear too concerned, for what it's worth. "Reflections (ghosting) occurs in all laminated glass to varying degrees," a Tesla spokesperson said in an emailed statement. "This is most frequently seen at night and can affect some drivers more...

About time that @greg t is getting a replacement or an acknowledgment about thsi problem. It is one thing to try to explain away the double /triple vision on a Model X, it is entirely a different issue to ignore it on a model S. Thank you @greg t for calling out those who think this is the new...

Jeff, Did the windshield replacement improve the double/triple vision by 10% or tinting process? I thought they had offered to get a new windsheild to you! I wonder if they replaced it whether it was checked to see if it had the same issue or not. Incidentally, I came across a Tesla owned...

When I drive at night on a busy two way street, I cannot tell how many cars are approaching on the other side of the road. I cannot notice any bike or motorcycle unless they are very close to me, nearly passing on the other side. All cars look like a cluster of many, many, many small blurry...

@millertime, please take picture and report this issue to Tesla, if it is distracting enough that you'd want to ask for a replacement.

@aesculus, seems you have a perfect car. :)

@proven, It is impossible to miss the light effect at night when cars are approaching on the other side, specially on a two way street. The same goes for the traffic lights. If you look at the pictures posted, you'll see what we see. So it seems to me that you have one that functions as...

I have not received a sunshade from Tesla. This seems to be a production/manufacturing/engineering defect, not sure how the triple light refraction within the glass layers can be avoided by using the sunshade.

Hello all, Here is the latest update: I stopped by my local SC in PA today and spoke to one of the SC mangers who told me that the issue had been elevated to an internal topic @ Tesla. He also said he was able to see the problem himself during low daylight on another model X. I offered to...

Thank you, that is where I have been actively posting. So far there are not that many of us (thankfully, otherwise this may end up being a prolonged battle with Tesla) but it is interesting to heat that other owners are noticing and adjusting to the daytime glare. I am one of them and it does...

I have noticed the day time reflections/glare issue as well, but manage that effect wearing polarized sun glasses. It has made it less problematic while actually still noticeable. For those who do not have this issue, every approaching car has a few reflective areas. Once they are within 30-40...

Hello All, I took delivery of my modelX mid last week and am trying to figure out how many others have double vision issues with lights at night- this includes traffic lights, street lights, brake lights, head lights and lighted traffic advisory boards. Every light has a smaller twin and it...

I was told that my local SC manager would contact the engineers to design a new glass for my car! Not for all other model X cars, but mine. I thought they were making a mockery out of this. The design to production to installation process takes many months, having first hand experience with...

Glad that you got it resolved. I am still in what one might call "limbo" land. It is very disappointing; really not what I had expected from Tesla (a luxury car brand ) or the local SC. Still waiting for a call back 3 days into calling it in and have already left a VM for the local SC manager...

@eleXtrons. It could be a problem with the tinting process or the curvature of the windshield itself. I am not sure which one as the technicians I've spoken to a have not heard of the issue, so it is anybody's guess at this point. The good news (if there is one) is that it is replicable during...

Yes, this is it. Awesome. If I don't to take proper shots tonight, may I use on of these photos?

I called Tesla's support line and after explaining the issue, he said it was the first he had heard about it. I had the same response when I called our local SC, that is why I called their 877 number, hoping they had heard of it. Please call in if you have not already so that we can escalate...

I stopped by the Palo Alto SC yesterday afternoon and took one of their techs for a test drive so that he could verify the noise. After we came back, they made an appointment to fix the noise issues. I have noticed other minor issues as well so I hope to have them all sorted out during that...

Well, mine closes itself when I park it and it locks/shuts off. I am not sure if it is "active" as the one on a Porsche, but it is upright when I start driving. I have not paid attention to see if it actually "active" when driving vs. just staying in an upright position.

@sneezydwarf, I don't wear glasses. I'll call Tesla's SC on Monday. I also want to be clear that the double vision is only with the headlamps and LED street lights. I cannot remember seeing their tail lights, but now I am not sure if there was a car in front of me when this happens. I'll do a...

@highedu- when I told them I couldn't take delivery that evening after they messed up my scheduled, I was offered a drop off service at my home. I should have accepted the offer but I declined thinking about the checklist as if I would have declined to take the car for minor issues. Given the...

To all those who picked up your cars recently, do you get double vision at night through the windshield with headlights? I drove it tonight and I have it. It is irrelevant to the position of the seat. Soemone else reported it in Jan, but I saw no follow up. Also have noise issues that I have...

Count me in. I am not tall and it makes no difference when I try to sit higher up or lower down. I noticed it with all head lamps, starts at a certain distance and I think it is due to curve of the glass. Very distracting, but not dangerous. Would most likely find it extremely troublesome in...

Thanks @sukhi. I was surprised that it was ready after all. I have to agree with you about my experience with their customer service in the last 3 months, I got 2 calls from my DS, both returning my calls. I think Tesla has ramped up the production without considering the load on the DS teams...

Got a call yesterday that the car was ready after being told that it was pushed to first week of April. Also, it came through 2 hours after our initial pickup appointment time that they cancelled the day before! He really wanted me to pick it up yesterday and then today and no later than...

I just picked up my car today. Finally ;-) It is parked outside and I still cannot believe it is here. Delivery experience was ok, not as great as it was in 2013 with our first Tesla. The white tent was packed with at least 40-50 cars, both S and X. They had a nonstop delivery schedule. If...
