Some of that new tech was in the Falcon Wing doors, which have caused no end of trouble. The automaker even had to sue a supplier, Hoerbiger, over issues with the units. Tesla has a solution, though, and CEO Elon Musk promises that you will love it.
Through an upcoming over-the-air update, Tesla is going to change the way the falcon-wing doors work. Here's what Musk told the crowd at his company's recent annual shareholder meeting:
"The software that controls the Model X and the operation of the doors has been incredibly difficult to refine. I think we're almost there in making the doors useful. ... I think with the software release that's going out shortly and then the other one that's going out in a month or so, I think finally we'll be at a point where the doors will be better than normal doors as opposed to worse. ... If you order a Model X now, or soon, trust me, you will love the doors, because the software will actually be right."
In other words, Tesla delivered the Model X without getting the software right, as was obvious to anyone who owned one. A fix like this is late, but certainly important for anyone who paid $100,000 or more for their fancy EV. The most recent Model X software update changed the way the Summon feature works, lets the touch screen move the center seats, and allowed one button to close all of the X's open doors.
