Common Problems: TESLA MODEL X
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Falcon Wing Door Sensors(Moderate)
The complex sensors (ultrasonic and capacitive) in the falcon wing doors can fail, leading to "ghost" obstacle detection where the door stops opening or refuses to open at all.
- Front Half-Shaft Shudder(Moderate)
A shudder or vibration felt through the floor and steering wheel under hard acceleration, caused by excessive wear in the front drive shafts (half-shafts).
- Suspension Creaking & Thumping(Moderate)
Like the Model S, the heavy Model X is prone to premature suspension wear. Front lower control arms and sway bar links are common failure points.
- MCU1 eMMC Memory Failure (Recall 21V035)(Moderate)
Like the Model S, early Model X units with MCU1 infotainment systems are prone to eMMC memory failure, leading to a black screen and loss of critical functions. A recall (21V035) covers the replacement of the daughterboard with an improved 64GB chip.
