TESLA MODEL X 2024 STRUCTURE:BODY
highCOMPONENT: Rear right falcon-wing door electronic control system. Door becomes stuck in a partially closed position and cannot be opened from inside or outside. Vehicle and component are available for inspection. SAFETY RISK: Falcon-wing doors have NO exterior mechanical release accessible to occupants when the electronic system fails. An occupant of the rear right seat can be trapped inside the vehicle. This creates a foreseeable risk of serious injury or death in any emergency requiring rapid egress: collision, fire (including thermal-runaway events documented across the lithium-ion EV fleet), submersion, or smoke inhalation. The risk is especially severe for child passengers using this seating position. CONFIRMED BY DEALER: Yes. Tesla Service Aliso Viejo and Tesla Collision Aliso Viejo (CA) inspected and attempted repair on at least 5 separate occasions between October 2025 and April 2026. Tesla represented in writing each time that the issue was resolved. The defect has recurred after every repair attempt. As of May 2026 the door remains unsafe. INSPECTED BY: Tesla service technicians only. No police, insurance, or independent inspection. WARNING SYMPTOMS / TIMING: The defect began in September 2025. No prior warning lamps or messages. The door operated normally for the preceding 12 months. Tesla initially attributed the failure to a minor cosmetic scratch sustained 12 months earlier â a theory inconsistent with the timeline, since the scratch existed during 12 months of normal door operation. Recurrence after 5+ failed repair attempts confirms the defect is electronic in nature, not cosmetic.
TESLA MODEL X 2024 UNKNOWN OR OTHER
lowI would like to report a potential safety issue regarding Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD), specifically version 14.3.2. Following any driver intervention (such as braking or steering override), the system presents a prompt asking âWhy did you intervene?â with selectable options (e.g., Navigation, Discomfort, Preference, Critical) or voice input. In my experience, this prompt does not automatically dismiss and requires manual interaction with the touchscreen to clear. This design creates a safety concern because: - It introduces a mandatory driver interaction immediately after a disengagement event. - It diverts driver attention away from the road during a potentially critical moment. - It may encourage rushed or inattentive responses just to clear the interface. Driver intervention moments are often associated with complex or unsafe driving situations, where full attention is essential. Requiring touchscreen interaction at that time may increase the risk of distraction-related incidents. I believe this behavior could represent a human-machine interface design issue that impacts driver safety. Vehicle: Tesla [Model] Software Version: FSD 14.3.2 Frequency: Occurs consistently after interventions

lowonce full self-driving is disengaged a pop-up menu shows up at the main part of the screen requesting a feedback why full self-driving was disengaged you cannot dismiss the questionnaire easily without being distracted during the driving extremely dangerous The only way to dismiss the compulsory questionnaire is to make a selection of 1 option or double click on a microphone button on the steering wheel extremely distractive and requires not to look at the road just at the moment you disengage full self-driving there is no option to dismiss it Tesla is forcing you to answer it

mediumBoth Garnish - Fender - Front - LH Right side and Left side come loose when driving in rain. The force of wheels pushing rain water on the fender garnish causes both the left and right fender garnish 4 push clips to come loose. When this fender garnish breaks and flies off it could hit a pedestrian, another car on the road or the car it is installed on causing an accident
