WHY YOUR TESLA IS FALLING APART

EV Channels Review

This video delves into the common issues plaguing the Tesla Model X, particularly focusing on early production 'Signature' models. The reviewer highlights significant problems with body and door fitment, including misaligned panels, rubbing trim, and loose seals, leading to wind noise and potential paint damage. The Falcon Wing doors are a frequent source of trouble, with issues ranging from malfunctioning actuators and sensors causing inconsistent opening to broken internal hinges. The video also addresses the infamous front-end vibration, attributing it to motor mounts or the front transaxle, and notes that temporary fixes like replacing axle shafts are insufficient. Other discussed problems include loose quarter glass, potential leaks from the third brake light, and the powerful, sometimes destructive, nature of the door actuators. While acknowledging Tesla's improvements from the Model S to the X, the review concludes that the X introduced its own unique set of complex problems, especially concerning its advanced door mechanisms.
