Rev B part won't prevent a failure... Had both mine replaced at 7500 miles due to grinding noise and shudder on acceleration: HALF SHAFT - FRONT RIGHT (1027115-00-B) HALF SHAFT - FRONT LEFT (1027111-00-B) Two weeks ago at 8500 miles, the right one failed completely with just mild acceleration...

This was my first reaction... Feels like an easy one to slow the FWD until the front door clears. Not as cool looking as "everything closing as once", but would have prevented another trip to the body shop. :(

I've had door sensors replaced 3 times now on my Model X (April 2016 delivery), but here's a quick warning for other owners to avoid more serious damage... I had a passenger closing the rear door at the same time as the front and the doors stopped with an "Obstacle Detected" warning on the...

Just had the latch problem occur on mine as well... Driver side door wouldn't latch properly - constant cycling noise coming from latch. Cycling can be stopped by manually moving the striker latch with a screwdriver to fool the car into thinking the door is closed. Car can be driven by...

I hate to say this...but if you're on the fence...DON'T DO IT. I agonized over whether to pull the trigger on my Model X and ended up going through with it and took delivery on 4/27. Unfortunately, I miss the 2013 Model S that I traded in every day I drive my Model X, and it's primarily due to...

The side panel is easy to pop off (standard automotive style body clips). Just get one edge up slightly and work around the edge popping one clip at a time with your fingers. The top of the dash and speaker grills are another story... They're pretty secure and I wasn't going to risk pulling...

The right side of my dash started creaking incessantly after about 500 miles. Smooth roads, rough roads - didn't matter. Since SC's are backed up over a month, I decided to try and pinpoint it myself since they can't look at the car until June. Pressing on the dash didn't seem to help isolate...

No problems with the front doors. Your original post about your door issue freaked me out, so I'm keeping a close watch. ;-) So far just the one FWD issue.

SC gave me other instructions... Service Advisor told me to stop using the FWD to prevent damage after I showed him video of the door grinding loudly against the body/trim. It's not a "cosmetic" alignment issue, the door is misaligned on close where it will start to cause body damage or break...

Mine appeared "problem free" at delivery last week... There's also the "week later" door challenge going on from other posts online. SC advisor did ask if my FWD problem started occurring "on an incline", so there might be a known problem... Given that the SC can't schedule my Model X in...

VIN 00026x. March build, delivered last week after the supposed "extreme quality check" delays in April. Tesla doesn't build in VIN order (order was confirmed back in December but delayed due to black wheels and other options), so I was hoping to be past the problems a lot of the Jan/Feb...

"1) Park on a hill" Looks like this was just a warning sign. My door is now hitting while parked on flat surfaces as of today. Guessing the struts are becoming mis-calibrated, or possibly the rear strut is failing since it's the door that has been used most frequently in the week since...

Any additional tips on FWD reset/calibration? Read online that holding interior button in the up/down position for 30 seconds each might be the technique? Tried this, but unsure if it took. My right rear FWD is now hitting the body on close (started on inclines, now doing it at all times)...

I noticed today that my right side FWD glass is hitting the trim on the body pretty solidly (to the point where I'm concerned it will break the glass) when parked on an incline (nose high in a driveway). Left side has no problems. Given your "tilt back" observation, the problem might be...

VIN 00026x / March 2016 build / Delivered 4/27/16 1. Front driver and passenger - Function is GOOD (seals...minor...see below). 2. FWD latch and functions - Right FWD rear glass hits body trim when parked on a nose-high incline (e.g. driveway). Glass breakage risk. 3. Seals around the car -...

An taste of the Model X timeline for a low VIN delivery… By March I was seeing a few Model X’s with my exact configuration, but with VIN #’s 1000’s higher. Really shook my confidence in getting a problem free “early” VIN vehicle, but here’s how everything went down. I decided to go through...

I the same boat with VIN #26x... Model X was supposedly built in mid-March (despite VIN assigned in December 2015). DS e-mailed a week and a half ago saying the car was ready for delivery and they'd schedule a date soon. Radio silence since and no follow up. Given recent news about the next...

Just got a call from the DS that my Model X is ready to go (P90DL, 22" black wheels, loaded) , but needed to reconfirm on my Model S trade-in. They already ran me through the whole car inspection routine at a SC weeks ago, so I'm guessing I need to do it all over again since that was over 2...

Had a couple drops of the blue coolant from my Model S after it was two years old, but never got a warning. The SC took care of it... Said it had a leak at one of the connecting pipes from a faulty seal. Assuming this was going to/from the radiator for cooling the battery pack.

I'm in exactly the same boat with VIN #26x. Confirmed in December 2015. My biggest fear is that the low VIN cars are built and sitting around in the factory being reworked due to quality problems. The DS has said VIN number has nothing to do with build order, but it's a little fishy when...

P90DL, midnight silver, 6 seat, black wheels, all options. VIN 26x assigned in December 2015 and still waiting... Was told the vehicle would be delivered this week (3/28), then updated like others to "maybe in April". DS claims the vehicle is still in "active production" since my worst fears...

pvogel - Out of curiosity since I'm also still waiting on an X with a VIN in the 0002xx range that was confirmed on 12/15... What was your actual build date on the info plate?

My first 4.5 upgrade had no issues, but the second one (one of the patch releases) reset my "Max Charge Rate" from 60amp down to 5amp. I discovered it the next morning when I had an insufficient charge. I just changed the setting back to 60amp under the "Charging" menu and everything has been...

My car has updated twice: 4.5 (1.33.43) - Received last night (2 hour est update) 4.5 (1.33.44) - Received this afternoon (45 min est update) Everything seemed to be working fine with both releases on my car - P85 delivered in April, so these were the first updates since I've had the car.

This was the only panel fit issue on my car. Tesla has come a LONG way since the earlier vehicles I've seen, but I've seen others have posted similar problems. - - - Updated - - - I'll definitely keep an eye on it and post a follow up. The only issue with the QuikSteel is that it's a "hard"...

I took delivery of my Model S this week, and unfortunately one of the key problems I've seen on many other cars existed on my car... The dreaded 1/2" gap on the fender at the base of the A-pillar. The problem is that Tesla appears to use an epoxy to bond the top of the fender, and they're not...

Here are some more pics of mine (solid roof - but may not have been obvious in my earlier shots). Just gave it the first wash/wax yesterday! Apologies for the image quality...the forum isn't allowing me to upload high quality versions of the pics. :frown:

Ooops! Typo...correct, it's 4.4.

Hi everyone, I've been reading the forum for a while now, but can now contribute something meaningful since I was at the factory for a tour earlier today... :biggrin: I have VIN#8976 - P85, Multi-coat Red, 21" (grey wheels), solid roof, carbon/black interior expected for delivery at the...
