SUSPENSION
Potential Consequences:
I continue to experience accelerated severe rear tire wear since my original purchase of this car new in February 2022 on both rear tires (275/45R20). The car has had the alignment specifications confirmed by Tesla. Yet I have had to replace two sets of rear tires in less than 36,000 miles due to the inside edge of both tires being worn through the rubber and into the steel cords of the tires. This last set of tires went ~14,000 miles and still had 5/32" tread depth remaining across all treads. This substantial wear is not readily observed by the vehicle operator without crawling under the car. The wear on these tires is indicative of excessive negative camber settings of the suspension. However, TESLA states the rear suspension alignment is within camber specifications at -2.13 to -2.06 degrees. The tires appear road worthy during a casual walk around of the vehicle. I have been fortunate these tires have not experienced a blow out, which at highway speed could have resulted in loss of control of the vehicle. I have retained both removed rear tires. Repair orders, alignment details and picture of excessively worn tire are attached.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
Potential Consequences:
Tesla Model X all doors are 100% automatic which means that they cannot be manually opened from the outside if the car software is not working. I have been facing a lot of issues with the Falcon doors and to my surprise a lot of other Tesla X users on Reddit face the same issue. So, when you press the open button on your app to open the rear falcon doors it might not open at all and just make a beep sound. It's hard to replicate this issue but I shot a video showing how it happens. This is not the first time that it had happened with my car. I have had this happen multiple times to my car. Every time the service center would simply change the door sensor which would fix the issue but temporarily. I think it a big safety issue as I have 2 toddlers who occupy the rear row in their car seats. I cannot get them out of the car when such issue arises. I have done a workaround to make it work which takes at least 2 minutes to work properly. A lot can go wrong in 2 minutes with kids. This issue happens very randomly and there is no prior warning. Earlier tesla told me that it had to do something with the climate. If it's too hot outside then the door sensors might get fried up, which I think is not completely true. I have heard different explanations from their different technician. Well yesterday when it happened, it was 34F and windy. I was outside of the car in this cold weather trying to get my daughter out of the car and figuring out how to open these damn falcon doors.

Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
Ever since a recent software update, when turn signal is activated, right fender camera feed appears on screen but is completely black instead of showing a visual of the right blind spot. Due to this other features such as Autopilot, Automatic Emergency Braking, and likely most of the ADAS functions are also disabled. Due to the vehicle's poor natural visibility, there is a high reliance on the camera systems functioning properly. Not having a blind spot camera endangers turns and lane changes, especially if one has become accustomed to their usage. With most if not all the ADAS features disabled, we are returning to a 1990's level of auto safety. The problem remains unresolved despite a recent 2 week stint in Tesla service. Since this is most likely a software issue (possibly a regression introduced with the recent rear camera recall fix) there is no recourse except for Tesla to issue a bug fix. The car was returned to me without resolution. I'm not the only party experiencing this problem.

Corrective Action:
Ever since a recent software update, when turn signal is activated, right fender camera feed appears on screen but is completely black instead of showing a visual of the right blind spot. Due to this other features such as Autopilot, Automatic Emergency Braking, and likely most of the ADAS functions are also disabled. Due to the vehicle's poor natural visibility, there is a high reliance on the camera systems functioning properly. Not having a blind spot camera endangers turns and lane changes, especially if one has become accustomed to their usage.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
My vehicle does not have a horn in the center. It is a button. Elon Musk told the public over and over they all had a center horn that just wasn’t activated yet, that would enable it in a future software update and that was a lie. This button horn on the right hand side never functions when needed. There is no “cover the entire right side” with your hand to make it honk when you’re quickly reacting to a safety hazard. It sets off the wipers usually without even honking. I don’t mind the weird turn signals, but this needs to be fixed. Now that they’ve announced a new model with a regular horn and lied to us about our cars actually having them but being “disabled” I think we are entitled to a retrofit of a brand new one with a center horn like every other vehicle on the road. Rear cross traffic alert? What real cross traffic alert? After I bought this car I was absolutely floored to find that when I back up, it doesn’t alert or beep or make any sound if a car is coming or a human is walking behind it. I was inches from hitting a neighbors child on a bike once and I am still shaken from what could have happened had I not heard someone yell. The car will scream and beep and flip out at every little other issue but doesn’t have this? Every car I’ve had since 2008 has had this feature. It is absolutely unacceptable that this noisy beeping computer car doesn’t have any audible rear cross traffic alerts. Please force them to fix this. It is DANGEROUS. The rear window is so high up it’s impossible to see beneath it. If I’d hit that child, I never would have forgiven myself. Please force them to add an audible warning.
