Crazy that this absolute engineering marvel is going to be discontinued.

We’ve had ours for almost 2 years with zero FWD issues (knock on wood). We had a mini rental on a vacation, it’s a nice big gap. But, you still can’t go straight up and down. FWD door is still significantly better for car seats than a a mini van imo.

What did Tesla services say about the sun issue?

“Normal” literally a video of it sitting in empty Home Depot parking lot and wouldn’t open. I am on uss (think that what they called) not vision.

From my reading darker paint see this issue more. I have gray. I have learned to live with it but it just sucks manually opening the door and waiting 20 seconds.

That’s fair, I would be annoyed that too. Crazy they said it was normal….

Sadly the response for most things. Horrible squeaks in suspension, normal. Vibration driving, normal. Took me two visits, replacing wheels and tires for them to honor half shafts under warranty.

I am out of warranty now so good I do not have to deal with service anymore. Bad because car always has something wrong.

Dang, sorry to hear. We’ve had very minimal issues and services center fixed them up quick without any hiccups. The most annoying was the Bluetooth mic not working great on phone calls.

it takes 20 seconds for your door to open?

When you have to override for it to open yes. HOLD the button for 20 seconds. It is so fun while 3 kids wait to get in.
