I’ve heard that the sensors can be recalibrated if they’re acting weird. Has anyone done this? I’m skeptical about how effective it is.

Sensor recalibration helped me quite a bit! It’s a simple process and can often clear up random door behavior. It’s worth a try if you’re having issues.

My friend calls it the “drama door” because it has a mind of its own. But seriously, checking the calibration might resolve it.

I’ve noticed my Model X doors can sometimes be too slow to respond, especially in crowded parking lots. Any tips on getting them to open more reliably?
It helps to give it a little nudge when opening if it hesitates. That said, keeping the hinges lubricated is also crucial for optimal performance.
Haha, it really is! I sometimes park farther away just to avoid the stress. But I found that backing into a spot can give you more space to work with.

I have to ask, does everyone else feel a little tension when opening the doors in a tight space? It’s like a gamble every time! Humor aside, what’s made this easier for you?
I’ve also seen users mention an app feature that helps control the doors better, especially in tight spots. Anyone tried that?

While I love the convenience of the Model X doors, they can definitely be frustrating in close quarters. A little foresight in parking goes a long way.
Yes, I’ve used the feature in the app! It’s very helpful for adjusting the doors if you know you’ll be in a cramped area. Definitely worth exploring.
So true! Sometimes I feel like I’m performing a ballet just to get in and out of the car.

Every time I park near a wall, I hold my breath when opening! I wonder how many of us have a funny story about near-misses with the doors?

Right? I was almost a contender in a door wrestling match last week! But seriously, keeping the doors maintained is key.
I’ve had my Model X for a year, and the doors are definitely a conversation starter. In tight parking spaces, I’ve found it can be tricky to fully open them without hitting neighboring cars. I usually park away from the crowd just to be safe.
That’s so true! I once had to squeeze out of the passenger seat because the driver’s door wouldn’t clear the van next to me. Super inconvenient!
I’ve had similar experiences with tight spots. But I love how the doors open up instead of swinging out; it saves space even if you can’t open them fully. Easy to get in and out in a pinch!
Yes! However, when it’s raining, I’ve found that sometimes the door accumulates water and splashes everywhere once opened. A little annoying during bad weather.

I’ve noticed the same thing about the water. It can be quite a mess. Plus, the doors can get a bit sticky in cold conditions, making them harder to operate. Anyone else experience that?
Absolutely! It’s like they freeze in place sometimes. I keep some de-icer handy just in case during winter. It’s a handy fix!
Anyone tried parking in really tight garages? I was almost stuck once! The vertical opening is cool but needs some space.
