Close Call with My Model X Rear Door

[brinkman23]

Just had a pretty scary moment with my Model X's rear door. My grandpa was getting out, and of course, he accidentally hit the close button. The door slammed shut with a ton of force. I was quick enough to stop it, but it got me thinking - this could be a real safety issue.

Anyone else had something similar happen or have any tips to avoid this kind of accident?

Just a heads up to everyone - definitely be extra careful with the rear doors, it’s something worth paying attention to!

Thanks for this! This is especially helpful for owners who have elderly passengers with them.

I think a short feedback narrating this incident to Tesla would help. At least, they would have it in mind.

Yeah, I’ll definitely send Tesla a message about this. Feels like something they could fix with an update. I’ll also check the settings to see if there’s a manual mode. If I find anything useful, I’ll share it here!

Yikes, that sounds terrifying! Definitely something Tesla should look into for better safety sensors or a slower close speed. Appreciate the heads-up. Definitely a solid reminder to stay sharp out there!

@brinkman23 I agree with @Evholic_21. It is still best to share your experience with Tesla. This will help them improve or possibly release an update to avoid these incidents in the future.
