Tesla Model X owners finding car doors won't shut, windows won't close
Tesla Model X owners are suffering from "a series of first-world issues," according to one owner.
But owners of the $138,000 sport utility vehicle – whose many
features include falcon-wing doors, a 200-plus-mile battery range and
proximity sensors that prevent it from coming into contact with other
cars – are being confronted with more immediately irksome issues,
including car doors that suddenly won't shut and windows that won't
close.
The Wall Street Journal reported on the issue
yesterday, spotlighting several Model X owners who've been taken aback
by unexpected malfunctions, including one customer whose falcon-wing
doors wouldn't open as she prepared to drive her children's carpool to
school. "It's a bummer," she told the outlet. "You spent all this
money...and the doors won't open."
Consumer Reports also published a lengthy piece
yesterday about unhappy customers, including Michael Karpf, a
75-year-old retiree who picked up his Model X from Tesla's Fremont, CA,
factory earlier this month, only to be faced with a string of problems
with the car. Among them: falcon wing doors that wouldn't close and
proximity sensors that failed to sense an overhang, allowing the doors
to bang into it. Karpf also said that the huge infotainment screen in
his Model X has repeatedly frozen.
