2022 TESLA MODEL X Complaints

The front cover (frunk) keep opening even when the car moving , which is easily can block the ability to see cars infringe of you , I tried to reach the dealer services and they told me that they are so busy and it will take time to fix my car , the problem that I have to drive the car to go work and the dealer would not give a me a sooner time to fix this issue , it is a serious problem and can easily cause car accidents , I try to minimize the use of my car but I still have to show up for work . The front cover keep opening 8-12 times a day even if the car is closed and locked !!! But she I saw that it opens while your driving I think this is a serious issue and it has to be reported and the dealer need to take car if this issue ASAP, it is a brand new car and it should not have these problems , this car spent More than 30 days at the service for different problems ( paint, seat belt , falcon wing that doest close ) and now this issue!!!

In all late 2021 and 2022 Model S and X cars from Tesla, the manufacturer removed the left and right stalks for a) directional signals b) wiper controls c) forward/reverse/park controls and also made it nearly impossible to use the horn, with only a tiny button to sound the horn. The driver is forced to remove their eyes from the road to a) turn on left or right directional signals b) choose forward or reverse c) turn on window washers d) turn on wipers when they fail to turn on automatically and e) press the horn. AT NO TIME SHOULD A DRIVER HAVE TO REMOVE THEIR EYES FROM THE ROAD TO DO THESE FUNCTIONS. Traditionally, any driver could use a left or right hand without removing eyes from the road and use any such control. This is not possible.

Was driving on the freeway and drivers seat started moving backwards. Feet slipped off the pedal. Turns out the seat adjust button behind the 2nd row seat controls also moves the drivers seat. NOTHING should move the drivers seat WHILE DRIVING except driver himself.

GPS drifting that has effectively rendered my navigation, autopilot, etc., completely useless. It was actually dangerous on autopilot while GPS is drifiting. While driving on the highway, the gpa thinks the car is on local, it would slow down the car to local speed all of a sudden. Almost got rear ended. It's even more dangerous when merging the line.

GPS location in this Tesla Model X can drift massively for many minutes, resulting in very unsafe autopilot (such as thinking it's suddenly in a 25mph zone while on the freeway, or vice versa), confusing directions and prompts. See https://twitter.com/ArtemR/status/1534576069524590592 for video demonstration and more reports / info.

There is an issue with the GPS in that the location is not accurate, sometimes it is off by 10-20 feet, enough to put it on a different road, sometimes it's off by miles. This is very dangerous as when using Autopilot, it uses map data to set the cruising speed, and if the GPS is reporting the car is on a different road, the speed can change to being faster or slower than the actual road the car is on.

The 2021-2022 model X “yoke” steering wheel is poorly conceived and a safety hazard. 1) horn location is tiny, and moves as wheel turns, impossible to quickly activate horn in emergency situations 2) high Beam lights are on a tiny button which also moves and cannot be activated when wheel turns or in an emergency situation, or even when choosing to cross an intersection during a yellow light because a car behind you is tailgating. 3) wheel shape: when used at lower speeds in autopilot Beta mode, the electronics literally rip the wheel out of your hands when turning right on residential streets. It is impossible to maintain hands on the wheel without risk of personal injury during some autopilot beta turns. Safety of the vehicle would be returned if the prior 2017-2020 round wheel with turn signal, wiper control, and gear selector stalks returned. The inability for the driver to control following distance in the ADAS (cruise control) systems without dropping 3 levels down into on screen menus is also unsafe.

While driving, our tire lost pressure resulting in the tread and side wall of the tire to separate. This failure that occurred is the same defect reported on the Continental CrossContact LX Sport recalls. It was a huge safety issue as we were driving on interstate and had to safely get to other side and pull over. Tire size - 265/45 R20

"phantom braking" of the tesla optical-only (no radar or lidar) adaptive cruise control. northbound on hwy 101 around Gonzales CA there is a truck stop on the west side of the highway. proper signage and lane lines enable 101 traffic to maintain 65 mph. the insufficient optical-only system hit the brakes through the intersection and caused traffic behind me to brake suddenly as if there were an obstruction. i scheduled service but this is a system that should be tested much more rigorously before delivery. the sudden braking that the system employed caused a situation where driver input was required to avoid a collision. this is inherently dangerous and is avoidable by peers' ACC systems. has not been reproduced to my knowledge. no inspection of the system. yes, there is an audible alarm that the system is braking. too little, too late. one final thought: the ACC systems of vehicles in this class use radar and/or lidar to enable sampling of the entire electromagnetic spectrum that humans can monitor cost-effectively. for some reason tesla made the insane decison to go optical-only, robbing their system of at least 10 times the data. the detriment in available data that an optical-only system has to overcome is too great to solve with nifty software. tesla's decision endangers drivers of their cars and, most importantly, others on the road.

1) low-speed turning is very difficult. makes hitting pedestrians/curbs/edifices much more likely, as well as just holding up traffic and frustrating other drivers. 2) turn signals require looking down at the steering yoke unless you're a real ninja. even if you get the hang of them without looking down, it's too easy to make a mistake. also i've noticed that when i'm trying to use the left signal, the terrible haptic faceplate will sometimes activate the right turn signal. when this happens in traffic at speed on the highway it can cause accidents. 3) horn is a haptic region that you have to look for to activate. i think this is being addressed but it's not sufficient to recall just to replace the current version with one with a normal horn in the middle. the entire thing needs to be replaced with a wheel and turn signal stalk.
