Tesla Couldn't Fix My Model X's Falcon Wing Door! I Had To Get Creative

The Falcon door on my Model X would not close properly and after Tesla's Mobile Service and Service Center couldn't fix it, I had to get down and dirty.

Nice job getting it figured out. if that mobile repair guy told me " oh well" there would of been a problem.👍

[@KobraToldYa]

Exactly! That was unacceptable.Thanks for watching.

[@courtk6142]

Mobile service should have created an appointment with the service center if they were unable to fix it. Tesla really needs to improve their customer service.

[@redreadyj8916]

If I start having issues I’m taking them to court or doing a lemon buy back deal because these cars too expensive to be having issues … maybe they should recall all these cars and start over 🙄because even the self driving is very flawed

[@artogprocon5965]

Wow you did a great job. This channel is amazing 👌👍

[@lavergnee]

If I understand correctly, KZbin is more effective than Tesla service…

[@KobraToldYa]

Its my go to source for info! 😄

[@aaronwalker2019]

It definitely isn’t aligned properly. Just from the video I seen that when it’s almost closed it hits a bit off position towards the rear of the falcon wing.mNot sure if that is the issue. Glad you were able to temporarily “fix” you wing.

[@SpecTechularGadgets]

You have patience! Glad you got it fixed. Great video.

[@KobraToldYa]

Tried to figure it out. Thanks for watching

[@GrovesCustomLumber]

And as always, great vid 👍

[@mskiby]

Make sure you check you seals on upper glass units on falcon pre warranty expiry. They will degrade and crumble , 2 or 3k cost to you after warranty

[@preciador6]

Warranty won't fix that problem.

[@PUREADDICT]

@@preciador6extended vehicle warranty should be able to fix this. If not, try a different Tesla SC

[@bigjohntechreviews4807]

Good job 👍 bro. Glad it's working properly now. Great elbow grease

[@KobraToldYa]

HA, Yup! Thanks Big John

[@Micah-Woods]

So basically, he didn't know what was wrong. 🤣 At least you were able to fix it 🙏🏽💯 your wife is hilarious 😂

[@KobraToldYa]

Yup. Haha. Unacceptable!!!

[@asalamalecom]

You can’t blame the Mobile tech for not knowing what it was! The techs don’t take a job at tesla and all of a sudden overnight they know everything about every model etc.....come on man!!

[@KobraToldYa]

Tesla sucks!

[@ghayes220]

Glad that you solved it. I always say, someone will have a video on KZbin.

[@KobraToldYa]

Yup! That’s true. Thanks again George.

[@Jiyacutie2015]

Tesla model X is rubbish. I am having FWD door issue since the very 1st month I bought brand new Tesla model-x 2023. They tried to fix it 4 times in last 4 months and still issue persists. They now say they don't cover intermittent issues under warranty and basically I am left with no other option that to goto court which I don't have time for. I wish the company goes down the hell to burn my hard earned money.

[@dan_tanna]

Dope video Bro!

[@KobraToldYa]

Thanks again Tanna!

[@TechDad305]

Did it get fixed? My 1 week old 23 MX is having the exact same issue. I have SC appt next week.

[@GrovesCustomLumber]

Hey Kobra can you do me a favour and up the volume of your voice when you edit more like your intro volume thanks man.

[@KobraToldYa]

I will work on this, I notice that as well. Thanks again!

[@MomsSelfReliance]

Good evening blessings.

[@tlastknight]

Mine does not open nicely in hot weather. How many sensors are there?

[@MrJustinTGreene]

This was hilarious

[@cmdmd]

Sad that a major innovative auto manufacturer has one of the least reliable vehicles.

[@ScullyPopASMR]

Sometimes you just got to do things yourself.

[@KobraToldYa]

That’s right! Thanks again for watching Scully!

[@JonasGrumby]

That door should work fine in death Valley California in August. That’s BS

[@KobraToldYa]

Agreed!

[@mikekimoc]

So it’s been about 2 years. Do you still own the X and are the FWD still working ok? TIA

[@KobraToldYa]

Yea, still own it and the doors work well. There are times that a sensor misreads an object and won’t fully open but that’s it.

[@mikekimoc]

@@KobraToldYa I think that’s pretty normal for all X’s. lol. I have the closing issue very occasionally on 1 door so I will try this. I will not come here and blame you if it gets worse 😂

[@KobraToldYa]

@@mikekimoc did Tesla try to fix it?

[@andyfeimsternfei8408]

It's actually a programming problem. The passenger door closes differently than the driver's side. It is supposed to go fully down and then in to latch. You can see the difference between the two doors. My theory is this happened during the Covid chip shortage. Tesla couldn't get the same controller chips, so they used what they could get and rewrote the logic, but did a poor job of it. More proof is how poorly the front doors close, or rather dont close. The pre-refresh X would open a slightly open door and then slam it shut to make sure it closes and latches. The refreshed door won't do this and it's easy to walk away leaving a door slightly open. Pre-refresh doors worked great, refreshed doors a crap. Sad thing is it would be an easy fix, but Tesla will never spend the time to do it.

[@joechil63]

👌

[@KobraToldYa]

joechil63 thanks for watching!

[@joechil63]

Now go back to the service center and say "kobra told ya"

[@KobraToldYa]

Yessss!!! I’ll send them a postcard.

[@Salty_reviews]

Do they sell the Model X with regular doors?

[@KobraToldYa]

No

[@YohaiAmedi]

Is this a new X? What model year?

[@KobraToldYa]

2020

[@YohaiAmedi]

@@KobraToldYa wow.. I am continuing to be amazed from the problemm on the X. I would expect that for the price point and on it and the years already in development to see improvements..

[@KobraToldYa]

Yea, we’ve had a few problems with it. It’s frustrating

[@YohaiAmedi]

@@KobraToldYa can you share what other problems did you have?

[@KobraToldYa]

Driver side front door is having a phantom obstacle warning now too.

[@FitnessGuru91]

120k for a car that is not even aligned properly? What a joke of a company Tesla is. I will never purchase one of these overpriced software shit boxes.

[@mts982]

your into music volume is loud but your voice sound level was WAY low.
