One of the great reasons for owning a Tesla is that the company can service their vehicles via over-the-air software updates. But, with the good comes the bad. That's because sometimes updates aren't always for the better. 

The latest software change for Model Xs actually seems to have made a bit of a problem. Recall the Model X falcon doors that have been creating problems for owners? Well, turns out Tesla fixed the issue at the cost of making their falcon doors a bit more dangerous. 

The latest word on the street is that the company may have changed the functionality in its sensors that detect a pinch that's going to happen if a person closes the falcon doors. That's because the doors' sensors were detecting things that weren't there. 

Here's the thing: Now the doors are closing on things and a YouTube channel has video'd it in action. 

You've been warned, Spies! Be careful if you have a Model X.


Found out today that Tesla decided to take out a vital safety feature of their falcon wing doors. The same sensors (inductive) thats been a part of all the phantom obstacle detection issues.  

Instead of fixing the issue, they decided to remove the sensors from their firmware. So no need to have the service tech's remove the sensors, just remove it from the firmware without telling anyone.

Just tell them that the phantom obstacle detection issue has been resolved! This is Tesla at its worst.

As you can see the doors come down with more force than the front doors slamming! Someone is going to get seriously hurt and then Tesla is going to get sued!

They should find a way to make these work!

Running Firmware v7.1 (2.34.100)
